Superbowl party with Larsens

It was Superbowl time last weekend! We always try to get all together for a party and use the excuse of a football game to get together and eat and talk and just hang out. Sara looks really cute all dolled up with blue paint. Go Colts!
Andrew is one of the resident face painters. He had a lot of fun painting faces. Such concentration. Marja wouldn't let us paint her face...after all she was a Saints fan.
Andy looked like he was hiding under a blanket to "nurse" Danika. He was just a little cool and used his baby's blanket. I thought he looked like he was feeding Danika, so I had to take the picture.
Alex (such a cute boy who really needs to one day marry into the family...like 10 years or so from now) found a new way to watch the party. Yup, that is a little kids chair propped on top of his dad with him sitting on it...with all his weight resting on the chair. Ouch!
This is just a little picture of the party gang. We had a lot of fun. Hilary and Bill couldn't come over because of Hayden's birthday and they wanted to do what Hayden wanted to do. Plus Kate and Hayden got tired. If they had gotten into a car they would have fallen asleep. We missed them at the party. Happy Birthday, Hayden.
Thanks for hosting a wonderful party, Tai.
Guess what happened today? Not only is this the day before Valentines Day, but it is the day Andrew officially proposed to Sara to marry him. When do I tell Sara she really doesn't just marry Andrew but she marries the whole family (in a way). I am so glad she told Andrew "yes". We have known Sara for 5-6 years. We appreciate and love her more and more all the time. She is in our hearts and now we can say she is in our family, too. Welcome to the family, Sara.


Andrew and Sara dated for a couple of years in High School. Andrew put out a few of their pictures on the counter. He had Sara come over to our home to feed her and propose to her. I didn't even hide behind a door to watch. Tim and I left for Andrew to be with Sara. It looks like the wedding will be May 7, 2010. We'll keep you posted.
Once again, I love the people our children chose to be their mates. I couldn't have done a better job. Bill, Mike, Andy, Nikole and Sara. Thanks for joining the family. You add a wonderful addition to the family. We love you and appreciate all you do.
