Overall, it was a lame year for football and for commercials. Here are my votes for the top 2.

Agree? Disagree?

Peyton Manning is an amazing quarterback, but he also gives back to the community as a mentor. Watch Peyton give back to those who need it the most.

This is an SNL classic.

Yes, I’m ready for some football. Bring on the Superbowl!

Groundhog day + Football? How can you go wrong?

The NFL Draft is this weekend. My Georgia boy, quarterback Matthew Stafford is slated to be the first pick. Enjoy him football skeet shooting on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Show.

Great game. It was a wow to the finish. We were all yelling and screaming in our den. It was epic. 

But I do have to say, the  3D half time was lame. My kids have been excited about it for weeks. We got the 3D glasses, we were ready. Then the lameness happened. It was uneventful, it was soooo short. What a letdown. 

Oh well, hopefully, 3D Chuck on Monday will make up for it…

And the for the commercials. Here are our votes for the best.  

The adults though that this was the best commercial:

Your thoughts?

Well, it was Super Bowl time again! This year (and most) I had no vested interest in the game, but always as a family we’re looking for any reason to have a party. The idea this year: let the kids pick who they want to win. James picked the Colts and Aida liked the Bears. So to make it fun, we decided that the boys would root for Indianapolis and the girls for Chicago.

We all dressed in team colors, my father bought the kids team hats and we wear ready to go! So with plenty of chips and salsa, the game began. It was a blast. Picking sides engaged the whole family. There was much cheering and gnashing of teeth over the next few hours, and in the end it was a great time had by all.

The results: The boy’s team won! Colts 29 Bears 17. Woo Hoo!

And here’s the reaction amongst the kids: 

Next sports party idea: March Madness (we can’t wait)!

“Colleen [Pavelka] chose to have the birth of their second child induced a few days early so Mark Pavelka could attend Sunday’s NFC Championship showdown between the Bears and the New Orleans Saints.

The baby was due Monday. But when Colleen went in for an appointment Friday afternoon, her doctors told her she could opt for an early delivery. She decided to do so.” Read more here.

Wow, that’s commitment! If only we’d reschedule our lives for the Lord. Amazing what labor we could accomplish for Him.
