Super Bowl Sunday

This will be a Super Bowl Sunday that the Heinisch children will remember for years to come.  It started out pretty quiet.  Cal, Doug and Meg served, lectored and ushered at 8 a.m. mass where the amount of people working the mass almost outnumbered those attending.  Religion was cancelled today in anticipation of the impending snow storm that some news stations have predicted to be a blizzard.  The snow was pretty light to start, but when Cal, Doug and Meg returned it had definitely picked up in severity.

Cal and Doug worked on our driveway and then headed to Mom's to help shovel hers.  When they returned we decided to try the Knights of Columbus annual Super Bowl party.  Doug had see cars there when he drove by and was confident they were still having it.  Meg and Cam had been looking forward to the Goralczyk's wings, so through the snow we drove.  There was a party going on and in all honesty more people attended then I would have ever dreamed.  The wings did not disappoint the Heinisch faithful and Meg finished off at least twelve.  There was enough time for pool, BINGO and visiting before the snow made driving impassable.

We settled in at home around 3 p.m.  Doug had made a run to the grocery yesterday so we were prepared for the storm that raged on outside.  The Super Bowl started after 6 p.m.  Doug wore his treasured Brady jersey - one that has become a traveling Heinisch jersey as Meg wore it to school on Friday and Cal wore it to the game on Friday night.  The game was close throughout and everyone stayed glued to it.  We all chose our favorite appetizers to snack on throughout - meatballs, queso dip, and cream cheese with crab.  There were some good commercials this year, but overall we thought they were lacking the flamboyance of years past.  The halftime show was also interesting complete with dancing sharks.  The game, however, did not disappoint at all.  Much to Doug and Cal's happiness the Patriots won on a last minute interception.  It was a great way to spend our snowed in Super Bowl.  School has already been cancelled and much to everyone's surprise so has Doug's work.  We look forward to a day off tomorrow.
