So there was this football game on Feb. 6...

You might have heard about it - the Super Bowl? It was a pretty big deal in the Desotell household. First of all, a number of weeks prior, we offered to host a Super Bowl party. So of course there was a lot of prep and planning that went with that.

Secondly - and Kevin might think this should be listed FIRST - the Green Bay Packers were in it. Yea, a pretty big deal here. So big, in fact, that I thought Kevin's head might explode.

So what is a wife to say when a husband wants to go to said Super Bowl to see his team compete? Even if they already agreed to host approximately 20 people for a party? "Buy the plane ticket, honey!"

Off to Dallas he went to enjoy the game with his buddy, Joel. While I only have one picture of the whole event (Kevin really needs to get the pictures off his Blackberry...), I have a feeling the majority of the weekend - pre & post game - was spent like this. Perma-grin.


Being a Packer fan myself (unless they are playing the 49ers - then all bets are off), I got into party planning full swing! Bought us some cheeseheads, of course.


Nick loved the cheeseheads too - and he was a great co-host!


Here are all the guests watching the game. I was too busy (I guess) to take pictures of the decor, but you can sort of see the banner I put up over the couch that said "Go Pack Go!!" There are also little flags and balloons near the window. Unlike last year's Super Bowl party - both teams were NOT represented. Packers only.


The noshing table - meatballs, chili, deviled eggs... yum!!


The coffee table filled with lots of things to snack on during the game, including cheese curds!!


Packers win!!


We had a great time at the party. And, needless to say, Kevin & Joel had a GREAT time in Dallas at the game. He said it was the easiest party to host that we've ever had. Humph.

Hey, I even won our Super Bowl pool - winners all around!!
