Steelers seize Super Bowl

Needless to say, we are more than excited about the Pittsburgh Steelers winning the Super Bowl last night. We had a few friends over and it was fun to watch it together. The kids were up until half time and they had fun being with everyone. Before the game started, I reminded Sydney to pray for the Steelers - that they would win. She was all excited about rooting for the Steelers, as she has done many-a-time before. We also reminded her that her good friend Josiah was a Steelers fan! 

Sometime during the game, Sydney changed her mind and started cheering for the Cardinals. I thought maybe she was influenced by some of the boys in the room who were cheering for them. Later on, I asked her why she rooted for the Cardinals and she said "because they are the red team and that's my favorite color". Well, I told her that the Steelers won (since she went to bed after half time) and she responded with this: "In the next Super Bowl, the Cardinals will win!"  

One of our favorite plays was watching Harrison get Warner's throw and running down the sideline to the longest play in Super Bowl history. And Roethlisberger's passes were just amazing - what an arm! And there was little said about Troy Polamalu but he is just the best. He just shows up when you least expect him. Love it!
