We started a tradition many years ago on Super Bowl Sunday. I told my boys we would have ribs and lots of yummy treats for the Super Bowl game if they attended church that day on time and stayed the entire time. Our longtime neighbor and best family friend, Bill, started coming over to get his share of ribs. I made him bring his family over, and also included our other family friends and neighbors....the Helm Family. Rob Helm and Bill Payne helped raise my boys and were such a great influence that they remain very close to our family. Our families have grown and we now usually have 40 plus big and little people. The kids love playing together as they run crazy through the house pulling out all the toys. The guys are glued to the game....it was great this year...and the gals watch occasionally, talk, and catch up. The babies are passed around and even friends of friends are always welcome. This year Rob and Pam were on a cruise and their children and grandchildren still came because it is a tradition and because we have good food.We served:
Baby Back Ribs by Michael (Honey Barbeque and Terriyaki)
Honey Baked Ham by Bill
Creamy Potatoes by Maeve
Italian Salad by Lisa
pasta salad by Nikki
baked beans by Beth (wish Mia was here to make them)
shrimp dip and chips by Ty and Holly
salsa and chips by Jenny
vegies and and clam dip by Beth
assorted deserts , munchies, and a special pretzel crust/raspberrie dessert by Kelsee
lots of pop
