Did I mention that we watched the Super Bowl? Super Bowl XLV, Packers vs Steelers…

me, Ben, Udine, Michelle, Pete, Amanda, Matt and Jamie (Em and Schy just left 🙁 )

We watched with Ben’s family – 4 of his siblings, a cousin, and our sister in laws 3 siblings – there was so much Green and Gold in Matt’s basement that there was no doubt who that house was cheering for. All of the nieces and nephews were bouncing off of the walls. A few of them are old enough to know what a big game this is.

Nettesheim Cousins ready for the BIG game

We tried to educate Benji on the importance of this game. He almost gets what a big game it was. He was excited BUT he’s a little hesitant to wear his jersey to school what?? I convinced him that he SHOULD wear his Green Bay T-Shirt MOnday but he said only monday – not all week 🙁

Go Team! (Packer is incapable of looking at the camera)

Ben didn’t eat anything the entire game!!  what?????? Super Bowl parties = eating lots of snacks right?, not when you’re this invested in the game… Ben didn’t eat or drink at all. He sat and stared and rubbed his head, and tried to find the lucky position, and cheered… Most of us were so into the game that we couldn’t even enjoy the commercials. It was intense.

the occasional 'stand and cheer'

The Packers won the Super Bowl in 1997 but I wasn’t a Packer fan yet and Ben was on his mission in Brazil so he didn’t get to see the victory or even really hear about it ’till it was long over. Ben’s been waiting his lifetime for this day and he is loving it!!

CHAMPIONS!!

The MOJO this year….  Ben: White Packer shirt, no jersey, hold baby Rose. Jana: Aaron Rodgers Jersey, Ben’s grey sweatshirt, no Packer socks. Benji: Jennings Jersey. Packer: Driver Jersey. Cali: Pink Jersey. Rose: Pink Onesie. Eat Chex Mix and drink Gatorade!!! That my friends was OUR winning recipe :), the rest of the Nettys kept up the MOJO on their end and the PACKERS did the rest 🙂
