CONGRATS GIANTS!!

We would just like to extend our excitement for the New York Giants. Are we Giants fans? No, of course not! Who is? But we are definitely not Patriot fans. So today, we cheered and celebrated with the Giants. We felt we didn't entirely jump on the band-wagon since we are Peyton Manning supporters, and any brother of Peyton's, is a brother of ours.

SuperBowl XLII kicked off at 8:30am Monday in Misawa. Most of the Base was granted a 'Down Day" for the SuperBowl. (Casey ought to love that; she loves all the made up holidays Jason gets off!) The hospital as well as all of the administrative offices were shut down. Schools were still in session, but from all accounts, classes this morning were spent watching the game. The F-16 pilots were still in the air, however we figured our tax money has surely funded flat screen TVs in the cockpits. If you are in the Navy and stationed in Misawa, you unfortunatly only got a "half-day" and had to report to your duty station after the game. Sorry guys!

You may assume since the game started so early that parties are hard to come by. But not so in our circle. Several friends came over for an early start time. PJ's were the dress code! We enjoyed warm coffee cake, breakfast casseroles, banana and monkey breads, fruit salad and Belgian waffles. Drinks were bloody mary's and mimosas. We even enjoyed all the commercials with the latest and greatest Slingbox technology! A few of our friends were die-hard Pats fans. We didn't hold that against them though. They were good sports considering the outcome of the game.

Jacob, as usual, had a blast. He enjoyed waking up to a house full of some of his favorite friends. It was a great day full of fabulous company, excellent food, and did we mention that Tom Brady went home 18-1??!!!
