Super Sunday.

We had been looking forward to Superbowl Sunday for the past 2 weeks.

Well, actually...we had been looking foward to Superbowl Sunday since February 1995, which was the last time the 49ers were in the Superbowl. 18 years ago. I was in high school, that was over half my life ago. 

It's so fun when your team is in the Superbowl. Growing up as a 49ers fan, we were lucky because in the 80's the 49ers won a lot of Superbowls.

Sunday felt like Christmas morning, I was SO excited.
I spent most of the day in bed with a fever (I know, ugh)
But, I got to do my favorite thing before the game starts....watch the hours & hours of pre-game coverage. I LOVE watching the pre-game & hearing all the heart warming stories about certain players, etc. I get all emotional watching it. Yes, I am a weird one.

I painted my nails red in honor of the Niners.
Then, I looked at the name of the color & it was called Raven Red. What?!?!

Normally, we go to a Superbowl Party to watch the Superbowl, but because our team was in it this year, Kevin and I decided not to go to a party, but rather watch at home by ourselves.
 We wanted to watch it at home because if we went to someone else's house, we would have to keep an eye on our kids, be in a crowded family room and not be able to fully focus on the game.

Also, since I am nursing Luke,  I would have had to go into another room, miss some of the game, etc.

 By watching it our house, our girls could watch with us, play in their rooms, or play outside.

 And, watching it at home meant we would have control over the remote & able to pause the TV during the commericials.

(Can someone tell me WHY the commercials are SO un-family friendly? Ugh. I would like to be able to watch Football without having inappropriate commercials. After the first commercial break we paused the TV as soon as the game went to commercials.)
 So, even though we love parties, we decided to be selfish and watch it by ourselves. 

But, that didn't stop me from creating a little party atmosphere for us :)

Of course, since it's the Superbowl, its the one time a year that I make Queso.

And, you have to have Guacamole & Salsa. 

I decided to have "themes" with the food.

I bought Maryland Crab Cakes

(since the Baltimore Ravens are from Maryland)

I had Egg Rolls (since San Francisco is known for it's China Town) 

I also had Cajun Style Jambalaya (because the Superbowl was in New Orleans & they are known for their Cajun food & Jambalaya ) served in Sourdough Bread Bowls (San Fransisco is famous for Sourdough)

Red & White m&m's:

 And, of course, Red Velvet mini bundt cakes, because? Why not?

The game started off ROUGH. 

We were feeling pretty bummed at halftime.

What is going on with our Niners?!?

Even more so when the Ravens come out in the 2nd half with a touchdown from the kick return.

Then the power went out. Things were crazy.

49ers were coming back.

We were stress eating.

It was intense.

A few blown calls & some bad plays by the Niners & the game was over. 

 We have never lost in a Superbowl.

Our Super Sunday was Super Sad.

Kevin & I went to bed grumpy.
We had the sads.

I was really hoping they would win because how cool would it be to have your baseball team win the World Series and your football team win the Super Bowl in the same year?

 At least it was an exciting ending.
Congrats to the Ravens.
Maybe next year, Niners fans.
Sigh.
