SuperBowl Party 2015

With 6 boys in our house, we watch a LOT of football. So for us, the SuperBowl is a BIG deal. Of course, this year, we didn't love either team - but since we strongly DISLIKE the Seahawks, we were cheering for the Patriots.

Of course, what would a party be without FOOD - and we had a LOT of yummy food.

Here are some of the appetizers:

Can't remember what these are called (my mom made them)

Buffalo wings

Hot spinach and artichoke dip

Another appetizer made by my mom

We had a HOT DOG BAR complete with polish dogs, hot dogs, corn dogs and ALL the toppings.

We also had a NACHO BAR - huge hit!

Salads, chips. . .

Big pretzels

Ed didn't think our TV was big enough, so he bought a new, bigger TV just in time for the SuperBowl. So, since we still had the old one, he set both up for everyone to watch.

Every SuperBowl, I do a raffle. This year I did 2 - one for the adults and one for the kids. The adults each got to pick a square. Then at the end of each quarter, we added the two teams scores together and the person closest, without going over, won a prize.

1st Quarter: Chips, salsa, and queso

2nd Quarter: Football

Then at half time, I let all the adults select another square.

3rd Quarter: Little Caesars gift card and a 2-liter

4th Quarter: $25 gift card to Outback and Dove Dark (dinner and dessert)

For the kids Raffle, the each got 3 squares. Then every 5 minutes according to the game clock, we picked a random number and that kid got a candy bar. The kids loved it! At the end, we made sure every kid got a candy bar.
