Juggling January - Superbowl Sunday and More

Sometimes it feels like we have one event after another. The month of January was a whirlwind. First, a trip to Las Vegas, where we finally ate at a buffet since we've always missed it for one reason for another. While the selection was good at Caesar's, I think I'd rather dine at a nice restaurant and avoid the lines. Upon our return, Eddie's birthday occurred the week of our work's national conference, which meant long days and nights and me staying at a hotel downtown while Eddie joined later. We had a productive week.
 
Prior to that week, we celebrated Eddie's birthday early. What's more fun than a night out at Applebee's? I feel like we've become true suburbanites. Eddie's birthday gift - a card and a clue, "East meets west in the emerald city", the box had two hats, the Seattle Mariners and the Yankees - both green for his upcoming St. Patrick's day trip. We're headed to Seattle in June for the game! Eddie is excited about his first trip to Safeco Field.
 
Following all of this was Superbowl Sunday. On the menu, wings, jalapeno poppers, fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, mortadella, cheese wrapped in pepperoni, pizza, chips and artichoke dip, guacamole, and salsa. The kicker is that all that was just for the two of us, which is okay by us. It was a tense game between the Patriots and Seahawks. Now, we're just recuperating from the previous events. Did I mention we're running a 10 mile race next weekend?
 

Ready for the game!
Ready to eat!
