Food, Friends, Football

Sunday was a Redskins-Eagles game.  Over the years, we have begun to gather to watch at least one of these games each year.

Ugly Sweaters

Most of us are Redskins fans with a smattering of Eagles fans.  (This year, the teen girls ditched their Eagles parents to wear Redskins' colors.)

Not a Eagles fan in sight

It's a fun time of friendship and food and football.  Several of us had spent the weekend together - bowling and pizza, Christmas Vacation at the movies, church, and then football.  I love these weekends with plenty of friend time.

Thankfully, Evan came home Saturday otherwise the game just wouldn't have felt complete.  Five years ago, he was just my fake nephew. Now he is also a friend.  All of us at the football game are intertwined.  His parents are some of my closest friends.  He is friends with my brother in law and friend's husband.  This is right and good.  I am thankful for all all these people - friends who are family.

Why watch football?
