Shawn Turns 33 and Keke Wins the Super Bowl!

Yep. Both things happened last weekend.  My hubs hit the double 3 and Keke woke up an NFL player and went to bed a Super Bowl winner.  

Here's the lowdown:

Shawn was a good sport and shared his birthday with a 3 year old on Saturday because our whole family was invited to Piper's friend Elsie's birthday party at a Bowling Alley/ arcade.  So we did that, and then we came home and Shawn had a Spider Man themed family birthday party.  Why Spider Man? Because he has a 5 year old and a 4 year old daughter who decided that we just HAD to give him a Spider Man party ;-)  He was more than happy to oblige.  

He had the standard breakfast in bed, special dinner menu, dessert and presents birthday.  Nothing super exciting, but this is the season of our lives and I think he had a pretty good day:) 

 He blew all 33 out in one breath! Yay! (I hope he wished for a raise, hehe)

We let Sullivan try a brownie even though he isn't 1 yet... He LOVED it!

Happy Birthday Baby Cakes. We ALL love you big time!

The next day was the Super Bowl.  And not only do we LOVE the Super Bowl (and all the food that comes with it), but Keke was playing in it!!! 

He got traded to the Patriots this season and although I am NOT a Pats fan, I was one thousand percent rooting for them on Sunday.  Keke was playing in the freakin' Super Bowl! That is HUGE! It's awesome!  We facetimed him the day before the game and he said he wasn't even nervous! Isn't that crazy?!  He was just super excited!

If you watched the game, you know how incredible it was.  If you didn't watch it, you missed an epic win.  It was deemed "the best comeback win in Super Bowl History."  We were on pins and needles the whole time and I kept holding my breath without even realizing it.  I was glued to the TV.  The Patriots played the Falcons and it was intense! It was the first Super Bowl game EVER that went into overtime.  The Patriots were losing by 25 in the 3rd quarter.  25.  That's a lot....but all of a sudden plays were made, Tom Brady stepped up, and BOOM.  They caught up.  It was tied!  It went into overtime and the rule was Sudden Death.  What happened next is nothing short of incredible.  The Pats played HARD to get another touchdown and won Super Bowl 51.  KEKE WON THE SUPER BOWL!  He is number 51, the Super Bowl was number 51- it was meant to be!!!!  Keke played in the game a lot too; he wasn't just on the sidelines.  Whether he stays with the Patriots for another season or not is still to be determined, but for now, he is a Super Bowl winner.  How awesome is that? I am SO beyond proud of him and all that he has accomplished.  Like, I can't even express it.  Shawn cried- really.  He cried when they won cause he was just THAT happy for him.  And it was all over ESPN and the internet how Keke started the season in the "outhouse" (AKA The Browns) but then moved into the "Penthouse" (AKA The Patriots) haha.  That's because he started the season with The Browns but was traded after the 3rd pre-season game up to New England.  He now lives in Boston (figures he'd move up to New England the year we left!) and can I say it again? HE WON THE SUPER BOWL! Man, that's gotta feel SO good. 

Congratulations Keke- we love you!!! 

And finally, some pictures from the last couple of weeks.  The sunshine has been abundant and I am beyond thankful! My last 2 February's were brutal- it's nice to have a little fun this year!

I got to attend Mornings with Moms at Lucy's school last week. It was so much fun to have a cute little breakfast date with my sweet little Lu Lu Belle!

Next Up.... Valentine's Day and then.....Sullivan turns one. I can't even..... :(
