Friday night was boys' night at home because the girls went to the Miss Nederland pageant with Mommy. This year is the 40 year anniversary of the Nederland Heritage Festival and they asked Mommy to come back to help commemorate the event! Mommy was Miss Nederland in 1995, so she and many of the other past queens attended the 40th Nederland Heritage Festival Pageant!!
Aunt Allie, Granna, and Nana were three of her biggest supporters 18 years ago and they are still today!!
Mommy's sweet friends were also there to cheer her on! Here she is with Camryn Slott, Bailey Chandler, Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. Aimee, and Mrs. Robin
I had fun playing around with Mommy's crown and flowers when she got home!!
Mommy said that I looked beautiful, but I quickly told her that I am a baseball player... NOT a beauty queen!!
I woke up on Saturday morning to enjoy cartoons and cuddling on the couch with my Bubba Wilson! Before we knew it, the rest of the gang was awake and it was time to get ready for the day's basketball games.
The games were great, the boys played well, but we were all WORN OUT when we got home! We spent the afternoon napping. Wilson and Ryan were zonked out in their beds...
...while Dylan and I drifted off to dream on chairs at Nana's house!! WHEW! What a day!!
Sunday, February 3 was Nana's 60th Birthday and we started celebrating her special day together at church! Instead of going out to eat for Nana's birthday lunch, we dined in!! We cracked open delicious steamed snow crab and then topped the meal off with Nana's favorite chocolate and peanut butter ice cream pie! We loved every yummy bite, but not as much as we love our Nana!! Nana is an extraordinary lady who knows just how to make each one of us feel special... she is proud of our accomplishments, no matter how small; she knows our strengths and weaknesses; and she loves us from head to toe, just the way we are!! Nana gives great hugs, knows just what to say to turn a frown upside down, is always ready for an adventure, and finds the funny in everything!! We hope that we give her as much joy and love as she gives us each day!!
The celebration continued when our friends came over to watch the Super Bowl later that afternoon. Their first stop was Nana's house... with a surprise birthday serenade, beautiful flowers, and a sweet birthday card!! I think she loved it!!
We settled in to watch Super Bowl XLVII: The Baltimore Ravens versus the San Francisco 49ers. For the first time in Super Bowl history, two brothers were facing each other as head coaches. The game has been referred to as the Harbaugh Bowl, with John Harbaugh and his Ravens facing Jim Harbaugh and his 49ers.
Our Moms were tuned in for the commercials and the big halftime show!
We played outside during the first half as QB Joe Flacco and the Ravens raced ahead of QB Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers, but we came in after halftime to enjoy a 49ers comeback and a riveting 34-31 finish! The Ravens and John Harbaugh were the Super Bowl Champions, and Joe Flacco was named MVP of the matchup, but the game truly could have gone either way. It proved to be a great game to the finish!!

We call them The Fab Four!!
Wishing every a FABulous week after this SUPER weekend!!
