Maybe God is a Giants fan....

PhotobucketWell, the superbowl, Alicia is dying to hear about it. Well once the Giants kicked the Packers out of the playoffs and were the champions of the NFC, Tim and I began talking about what to do for super bowl, first it was, just the four of us watching at home like normal, for fear of jinxing it. Then we started talking about having people over, and it became a party. We had Tim's friend Josh and his wife Crystal, and three kids, and his sister and two kids and some guys from his work, and my parents. Tim began the big game with a pregame shot of Jim bean with George (in sacramento via ps3 eye). PhotobucketThen after the kick off, everyone was cheering and we were the first to score. Tim was stoked. Then near the end of the first quarter the Pats, drove down the field and held off scoring till the first play of the second quarter, which earned me $100 in the foot ball pool at work Yay!. Then it was a hard battle back and forth with neither team scoring anymore before halftime. At half time I had fun taking pictures of JT in his giants jeresy, and in the hat I made him. I took a old hat of Tims and cut off the logos and glued them on a Jt sized hat. And we gave him the remote to be in controlPhotobucketPhotobucketThen the game was back on, and Tim was kind of, um, yeah, practically passed out on the couch, then he goes wait whats the score? And we tell hime 3-7 and he asks again, and we tell him again, and after about 3 times more of this same questions and answers, hes all they have only scored 7 points and we say yah..... Well this wakes him back up! Around the forth quarter the Giants got the ball and scored a touchdown, well our house went wild! Then the patriots were able to score. The giants then got the ball back on 14 yd line. Tim goes 86 yard touch down drive, as a field goal would not win us the game. (Eli did tell payton that if they were down in the fourth quarter he hoped it would be 4 points not 3 so that they would have to drive to the touchdown.) About halfway through the drive the eli throws this pass to david tyree who did an amazing catch.
Then it was clear that the Giants would be scoring to take the lead. A few plays later with just 39 seconds left we did just that at the time i was taking a picture so it became a little blurryPhotobucketKara got scared of all the screaming and ran to Grandmas lapPhotobucket Then we kicked off back to the pats, who go 4 downs and out. And the giants win! The room went crazy! As did Tim, who got congrats from all his friendsPhotobucket Well it was such a good time. Then Tim went around and kissed the kids (and cried). He told Jason that he was his lucky charm since it was his first Superbowl and the giants won. Tim had also said that if the giants won he would quit smoking, a vow that he has kept now for over a week. Yay! The Giants, superbowl XLII champs! It was the best game I have ever seen, And I can't wait for next season. One of the best things was telling the Patriots fan at my work who has been giving me crap for 2 weeks, what up! He practically hid from me the first day that we worked together after the superbowl, but don't worry I found him and bragged a little...
As for Kara, after everyone was gone, and Daddy was asleep, and I was trying to get her to bed, she ran in to the living room, and jumped up and down in front of the TV and said "go giants, win superbowl".......A daughter after her fathers heart....

Yeah! That was fun to read about. Thanks. As soon as the Giants won, I thought of you guys and how crazy it probably was at your house. It was a good game. Well, the beginning and end. The middle was pretty boring. Love the pictures!
