Super Bowl-ing

Mark and Orlando's always hosts a party for the restaurant's staff on Super Bowl Sunday. Family and friends are invited, and this year Myney joined us also (though I managed to not get any pictures of her at the party.) Unfortunately, I forgot to take the real camera with us, so we've only got pics from my phone.

Orlando and Mark do most of the work for the party, serving simple food buffet style and offering beer and wine to everyone. The day was full of treats, with chips, grits cakes and even cupcakes that Anastasia helped make. In all, there were about 35 people there total, including Anastasia, also known as the life of the party.



Anastasia settled in right a way, with none of her usual shyness, and all of her charm. We found ourselves a comfortable corner, moving between the sofa, armchair and a couple of other chairs. We had a good view of the game, and relatively speaking, we were in the quiet corner.



Anastasia was very excited to watch football, and get to play in Daddy's restaurant. At one point, Kurt Warner threw an interception. Here was Annie's response to the play:



We decided to leave the party in the third quarter in the hopes that Anastasia wouldn't suffer too much on Monday. She managed to stay awake for the ride home, though barely, and got to bed just before 10:00. Orlando and I managed to get back downstairs just in time to see the winning touchdown and give a little cheer to the Pittsburgh side of the family. Yay, Steelers.
