I almost forgot...in the midst of "Baby Watch 2009", the Steelers went to (and WON) Super Bowl XLIII against the Arizona Cardinals in Tampa, Florida. We all watched with excitement (and a bit of stress during that fourth quarter) from Brandon's parents' house in Imperial.
We had quite a spread of local food -- Isaly's chipped-chopped ham BBQ's with Isaly's sauce, Brandon's Dad's famous ribs with Big Ben's BBQ sauch, Primanti's sandwiches, Sarris candies, pierogies, cabbage & noodles, Eat'n Park Smiley cookies...and a host of other appetizers I can't even remember. All I remember was eating ALL DAY LONG! For dessert, we had Klondikes, Clark Bars and Steel City Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream. There was even local beer for the beer drinkers.
Here is Brandon with his Terrible Towel before the game! It brought us luck in 2006 and again this year. (We won the first quarter on a block pool that we split with Kara & Tom - $500 bucks, baby! That is going to the diaper fund.)

We tried to get the kids to pose on the couch. These were the best we could do, because they were all excited about the Steelers, too!

Carly tickling (or tackling) John!

Colin was ready, in his new Willie Parker jersey... Colin actually got us rallied in the last 2 minutes of the game by starting a Terrible Towel wave which led to our victory!

And I brought the Giant Eagle cupcake cake, which was a huge hit!

Chris & Chuck, during halftime, I believe...

To my surprise, I didn't take any pictures of Kara & Tom, Brandon's parents or my parents, who were all there. So I apologize for that. It was a great night, especially because we were all together and won one for the OTHER thumb! Take that, Arizona! :)
