Superbowl 2015

We are a pretty big football family so we usually have our own little Super Bowl party. This year we could all participate in picking and eating all the fun football snacks.

We let the boys pick a few items and let them help in making a few things. Like always I over planned on food so we actually didn't make everything we picked so we had a few snacks for an after Super Bowl party ;)

Sup and Thomas were pretty helpful this year and seemed to be happy helping with at least the snacks they helped picked out. Livvy was happy to be part of the " clean-up" crew. This type of activity seemed to be the easiest and most fun of the jobs. Even with the super bowl starting later we started cooking when we got home from church.

Not every often do I have so much help in the kitchen, but it was fun for everyone to have a hand in making our yummy treats : )

Because we had a lot of things planned this was going to be our lunch and dinner and we just kind of ate as things were ready. One of the things Thomas picked were these chicken and waffle sandwiches. They were actually pretty easy to make and Thomas was able to assemble them on the platter and did a nice job with them. It seemed to be a hit with everyone.

Sup really likes salami so one of the things he picked was this cream cheese salami roll. The original recipe had thinly sliced green peppers as well but he is not a huge veggie eater so the deal was we could make them as long as we left out the green pepper. So as much as I wanted to have a the pepper in I left it out for him, which made him pretty happy when he seen the final product. 

I had seen these jello squares where you could make them the colors of the two teams that were playing. Because of the chill time I was a little impatient so my Seahawks squares didn't turn out but the  Patriots did, which I guess was a sign that they would end up winning. The boys love Jello so they couldn't wait for these to be done. 

During the game to help the boys pay attention and maybe learn a little bit about how the game is played we thought it would be fun to do a Super Bowl bingo. I was able to print off 5 different bingo boards and when something happened they were to cover the block. I had originally used mini marshmallows to cover the squares but quickly realized I wasn't thinking when I thought that would be a good cover. As all the kids were more interested in eating the marshmallows, we traded them for pencils so they could mark the square. 

For dessert we went with this Oreo cream cheese football thing. This was a huge success! Once Livvy saw this she went right for it. We usually don't allow eating in this room but with the game being pretty good this year we made an exception. So when Daddy put this down Livvy went straight for it, and grabbed it by handfuls. Who needed the wafers to dip? ; )
