Super Bowl Spread!

We do our special spread every year. B is recovering from a mild case of the flu so some more items than normal were prepackaged. In this case chips and popcorn which is not typical for us. Hubby grilled chicken wings, and crab legs. We also had fruit salad and kid prepared ants on a log. Banana pudding for dessert.  I also had a treat, Malta.  It is a cereal beverage.  Something popular in Puerto Rico that I grew up drinking.  Made from the same ingredients as most beer, but surprisingly sweet and non-alcoholic.  Hubby came across these large bottles at the store and bought me a few.  Funny thing, Ainsley got one for me from the fridge and knowing that was my second one for the evening admonished me not to get drunk.  I laughed and laughed!  Number one it is a non-alcoholic beverage, and number 2 I have not been drunk in years!  I rarely drink.  I can count on one hand the number of cocktails I have had since my children have been born and I rarely drank before that either.  Too funny.  Anyway, we had a good time watching the game.  I stayed up too late watching and am feeling the pain this morning as hubby was up at 3:15 to catch an early flight out.  Napping today I tell you.

As an update:  dinner with our friends went well.  Hoping to have them over again sometime.  They are quite an interesting couple.

Currently planning a birthday party for my baby girl who is not such a baby anymore.  We are actually having a party with the girls from her class this year.  Invitations went to school with her today.  I have purchased little fabric treat bags and materials to decorate them as an activity and will serve cake and ice cream.  Just a couple of hours and 15 girls invited.  Not too bad.  We shall see how many are actually able to come.  I feel a bit pressured to invite all the girls in the class so as not to have anyone feel left out.  My other choice was to invite the whole class though and I was not up to having that many kids over.  I am thinking of serving chocolate cupcakes with pink icing to go with our pink theme.  That is if I can find pink icing.  So cute.  Ah well, have a good week all.  I think I am going to head to bed for a bit.
