Our Superbowl

Last Saturday was the big Texas vs. Oklahoma football game. Since we choose not to watch sports on Sunday, this is our Superbowl. My sister Laurann joined us in the festivities. It was fun watching the game all together. I must admit, we all weren't as tranquil as this photo may lead you to believe. Aaron thinks he knows the coaches on a first name basis as he yells at them. Laurann told me it's a good thing Aaron doesn't use curse words or she would have had an ear full. The Longhorns eventually won and we were all a little happier.
Let's face it, the football game isn't the only thing. There is also the food. Here are the ingredients as Aaron started cooking the night before.

On Saturday, he fired up the grill. Thanks to some good fall weather for the weekend and the frozen HEB seasoned fajita meat we have been saving for months just for this occasion. Laurann even made a football cake for dessert. She used Reese's Pieces on the border so that it would go with our color scheme of the day (burnt orange). It was so good especially all the frosting globbed on top. (Have a ever mentioned I have a sweet tooth?)

Laurann bought an orange shirt so she would fit in with the rest of us. Savanah and Vanessa had on their Texas shirts we bought last May when we were in Austin. Vanessa doesn't really like her shirt so I was surprised she wore it. It says Texas Angel and I think she's worried it will ruin her reputation.

Anyway, back to the food. By the time we were ready to eat we had fajitas, tortillas, sausage, rice, beans, chicken, raspberry-jalapeno dipping sauce, guacamole, fresh salsa, chili-cheese dip, and mineral-water lemonade.
AJ requested I take a photo of him eating a chip. After all the football and food we headed for the soccer fields. Esteban's team, currently tied for 1st place played the 3rd ranked team. Esteban's team won 10-0.

This week, they play their final game against the other undefeated team. It should be a great game. All in all a great sports-filled, sunny & warm, fall day.
