Have you heard?

 The Seattle Seahawks WON the Super Bowl

Yeah....so it has been a BIG deal around here.  It has been an intense party all month long.  My camera is filled with Seahawk pictures and not much else!

Remember this? 

 

Thank you Santa!!

 

All season long Julia has been asking to get her very own jersey.  In fact she asked Santa for it for Christmas.  Santa didn't really think that she was serious...boy was he wrong.  Julia knows football and her Seahawks. Finally Mitch made a deal with her:  IF the Seahawks made it to the Superbowl then he would buy her a jersey.  He then revised that statement to EVERYONE in the family would get a jersey if they Hawks made it to the Superbowl.  Little did he know, he was about to pay up!

 

 

The only rule for the jerseys was everyone had to pick someone different!  Lucy picked Blitz the mascot.

 

The NFC Championship game with the 49ers was so big that I kept trying to warn Cameron all week before the game that this might not happen for the Hawks.  The game was so nerve wracking we could hardly watch!  After it was over Cameron started to tear up, I think in sheer relief. That game was so close!

In order to really understand the Seahawk frenzy and 12th man you need to live in Seattle. It is REAL and completely crazy! The NFC Championship game started the party off and it kept going all the way through past the Super Bowl. The night the Hawks beat the 49ers we drove into Seattle to see the 12th Man flag on top of the Space Needle and to get a taste of the madness...and by madness I mean crazy celebrating in the streets!
