WHAT A WEEK!!!
Max turned 49 weeks old on Friday and the Baltimore Ravens were on their way to the Super Bowl in 2 days! Unless you've been living under a rock, you may have gotten the subtle message that we adore the Ravens in our house. So out came the purple blanket for Max's picture and he did his thing.. hoping that it would bring the Ravens good luck. I'm pretty sure this is a hard-core "GO RAVENS" pose! Or "TOUCHDOWN!".. either is appropriate because the Ravens are now SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS (pause for reaction and cheer yaaaay) and I'm pretty sure Max had a little something to do with it.
While my sister Sarah and my Dad cheered the Ravens to victory in person (thanks to SodaStream!), the rest of us held down the fort and had an awesome PARTY!
Sarah and Dad- don't be jealous when you see these pics.
Party prep started early that morning: "Dear Jesus, please be with the Baltimore Ravens."
Max played some football while Justin decorated the purple velvet Team of Destiny cake.
...Max perfected his touchdown dance..
..and did some warm up laps around the house.
Garon came over for help with the party prep.
But first he made his Annual Valentine's Cake yummm and stole a few snuggles from Max!
Let's hold hands and be friends.
"What time is it?!"
"Oh false alarm.. its just reading time with Uncle Garon and Nana"
Awww cutest Flacco supporters ever!
The crowds gathered..
The excitement grew...
Some doubters got a little nervous..
But we cheered and cheered!!
Grammy and Max! Third-Pa is in the background..
trying to hide that he was at an official Ravens events.. but he was a good sport! : )
Look who we saw on the pregame show.. .such a party crasher!!!
Max loves parties.. so much attention!!!
Make your own nachos.. chili lime wings... veggies and hummus..
coconut klondike bites.. purple velvet cake.. my husband eats when he is nervous : )
Hours later.... exhausted and deliriously happy.... WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
The next morning....
"Ok Mommy.. I'm ready. Tell me who won the Super Bowl..... YES!... Victory lap!"
And another... !
Ok i'm done
