Friends and Fellow Football Fans

My dad is a pretty lucky guy. He went to the game last Sunday with three lovely ladies, and he didn't have to answer any stupid questions the whole time because these girls know and love football!

Teresa, the one in the middle, is a huge Colts fan but the Packers are her second fave team. She came up from Indianapolis with her cousin Kelli, and they somehow brought some of their winning magic with them because the Packers actually won! Against the Lions, by a field goal, in overtime, for a final score of 16-13. Not that it makes any difference in their abysmal record this year, but it was a revenge thing against the Lions so that made it really cool.

This was Kelli's first trip to Green Bay and Lambeau Field, and she definitely got the true Frozen Tundra experience. She was never in the Army like Mom and Teresa were, but she proved herself to be quite the trooper sitting there in the freezing cold to the bitter end. Perhaps it was the huge mug of "Packer Punch" she consumed at Anduzzi's Sports Bar before the game .... that stuff is about the same color as anti-freeze!

In addition to quite possibly being even a bigger football fan than my Mom is, Teresa is definitely way more hip to this blogging stuff. Her site rocks, and she shared some tips like how to create links within posts, so we're going to try getting a little fancy here too. We'll see if this works .....

Inspired by Teresa's blue tree in the Colts shrine at her house, we now have green and gold lights at our house. Eventually they will be part of our Packer shrine in the basement when the renovations are done, but for now they are festively adorning our front window for all the neighborhood to enjoy! (You have to click on the pic to make it big enough to really see the lights.) If you look really close you can see me peeking out the window, wondering what in the heck my mom is doing outside. Did we get some snow here last night or what?
