Christmas in February

Our Catlin/Casey/Bracken/Held Christmas celebration was put on hold until February this year, due to travels to Illinois and Pittsburgh on Christmas by some of the family members. We finally scheduled it for February 6th, and we all gathered at Ted and Pat's on Super Bowl Sunday. I decided it should be a "souper" bowl party, so I made two kinds of soup - pizza and split pea/ham, and we also had lots of appetizers, salad, and dessert. We never go hungry!

There were presents for the kids, which was a little confusing to Maddox and Matthew since Christmas was long ago, but Charlie didn't care.

What could it be?

A dinosaur puzzle!

New toys are fun any time of the year!

Charlie wasn't sure quite what to think of Kyle.

Who is that guy?

At least Kyle is no longer afraid Charlie will break (at 25 #, he'll probably be able to arm wrestle him pretty soon!)

The kitchen floor was a popular hang-out spot for awhile.

Silly Charlie!

Maddox is very patient with Charlie,

even when he crawls all over him and grabs his hair.

The guys occasionally left the downstairs TV to load up on food, but I never did get pictures of everyone. Next time.

Charlie and Jenna had to leave early since Andy was hosting a Super Bowl party. They got all dressed up in Steelers gear before they left.

Charlie is going to have to be a fan of two teams! Maybe he might live to see the day the Vikings win a Super Bowl, but I'm not so sure we will! Yeah, Steelers!
