Superbowl Super Saints!

As everyone knows, we are huge Charger fans.  HUGE.  Well, we are also New Orleans Saints fans.  Since Momo has a ton of family in New Orleans and my Great Grandpa was a BIG Saints fan, and Drew Brees got shafted by the Chargers years ago, we have watched the Saints every week.  Last night we had a big Superbowl Party at Momo and Papa’s with a ton of New Orleans treats (red beans and rice, Lousiana sausage, fried okra and a Mardi Gras cake).  Rin Rin and Amma were even into the game (this is huge for non-football fans).  Drew came dressed for the occasion.  He has having a bit of an identity crisis though, he has been telling everyone that his name is Drew Brees.  Oh, and his Momo…well, her name is Momo Brees.  :)

 

 

Raquel even dressed for the occasion

 

 

We put my great grandpas picture out as he would have been loving EVERY minute of this.  He was true New Orleanen who used to sit the parade route (Mardi Gras) every year to collect beads for us, even well into his 90’s.  He would mail us huge bags when we were kids.  He loved his city and he loved these Saints even more. How I wish he could have seen this….

Jett had no real interest in the game…..unless you count tackling :)

 

 

Raquel brought Mardi Gras “maskeses”

 

And celebrating the big win!  WHO DAT?!?  Saints DAT!!!
