The Packers are going to the Super Bowl!

Just so you know, I do not normally watch a lot of football games.  To sit for all that time in front of the t.v. when I could be crafting or doing something else...well, I just can't do it!!  To be perfectly honest, I only watch parts of today's game!  But I have to admit it was pretty good to see them win (sorry Bear fans!).  I am extremely happy for Aaron Rodgers!  It's pretty cool - we're going to the Super Bowl!! 

Well, the white chili was very good.  The beer bread too!!  It was fun to hang out with my lady friends and their hubbies.  Our daughter and her boyfriend joined us too.  We had a white elephant and that was fun also.  If you're not familiar to a white elephant, here is what you do.  You look around your house for the perfect gift...it can be something that you received but really wasn't crazy about it and you regift it!  (This works ONLY if the people you are white elephanting with ABSOLUTELY did NOT give this gift...and you better be sure of that!!)  If that doesn't work for you, look through a couple of old boxes you have packed away or clean a drawer and see what you can find.  You wrap your special gift and they all get put together at the party.  Then, with a deck of cards, (and this varies with how many people you have but you can figure that out) you devide them.  We had one set of all hearts and spades and the other set of diamonds and clubs.  You deal out one set of the cards.  Then, with the second set you draw a card.  The person with the match of it would pick a gift.  (Example if you draw the 3 of spades the person with the 3 of clubs would be the match.)  They would then open their gift.  The next card is drawn and that match has the chance to pick either a new unwrapped gift or they can 'steal' one of the open gifts.  You continue this until all the cards are gone.  What you end up with....well....that's your gift!!  It's a lot of fun and usually a lot of laughs.  I ended up with an exercise ball (brand new!) and a snowman from Christmas that apparently was unwanted by the previous owner.  Anyway, it is a lot of fun and great for a lot of giggles!!
