Sawyer's First Superbowl Party!

Matt's boss' wife had originally planned to have everyone over for a superbowl party on Sunday but then I received a text from Matt on Friday that she had the flu and they were canceling the party. By then, I'd had my heart set on spending Sunday afternoon with lots of fun people and yummy munchies, so I told Matt we'd just move it to our house!
Saturday, I put Matt and the boys to work cleaning the house and finishing up last-minute projects from moving in what...three months ago...maybe 4?
We had a great time and there was so much yummy food! It was also fun to see the Packers win since they're so close to Chicago and we know a couple of die-hard Packer fans.
Here is Sawyer getting ready for his own tackle...
The party gave me a GREAT excuse to try out a new recipe I saw on this fun website!
These were white cake cupcakes with HUGS inside and marshmallow buttercream frosting on top. Boy, were these a hit!

One more picture in case the last picture didn't make you salivate!
We also made Hawaiian bread sliders...super delish and the kids enjoyed burgers THEIR size!
Another kid favorite...cocktail weenies in a blanket!
You're salivating now, aren't you???
And last but not least, Matt made a homemade pizza that was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
His dough recipe called for beer but Matt didn't feel comfortable buying beer so he bought O'Douls! Funny, I know!
This was a bacon and pineapple pizza but by the time it was done, most of us were way too stuffed to eat it! Thank heavens for half-time!!!
Unfortunately, I was lulled into a food-induced coma and that's all the pictures I have of the rest of the evening!
