We went to church for the early service.  I drove separately, because Bill was staying for the second service.  I left to come home and make more food for the Super Bowl.  I read my Bible after I got done with that.  Vikki and Peyton got here at 2.  Vikki brought yummy vegetable bean soup she made for all of us.  Thank you Vikki.  Kimmy, Jared, Adam and Eli came next and brought their new puppy, Arnie, a Standard Poodle with them.  We were all happy to meet him.  He is such a well behaved, sweet puppy. Just amazing.  I love how black he is.  Most of us adults ate soup and the kids ate pizza that Kimmy brought.  We had butterhorns and Oreos for dessert.

Melissa, Bruce, Max, and Jack came next with Vader and their new doggie Wookie.  Wookie was very sweet and very well behaved too.  What great additions these new puppies are to our family.  We all love them and gave them lots of attention.  Bruce ate some soup and Jack ate pizza.  Max wasn’t hungry and neither was Melissa.  Evan didn’t come because he was with Lydia and her family.  All of the dogs got along just great.  I love having all of these grand dogs.

We all played bingo.  Everyone had won, except Bill and Max, so he said we had to keep playing the one game until they won and only they could bingo.  Max got a bingo right away, so then only Bill could bingo.  We all laughed at that new rule.  He loves to come up with his own rules.  It took him a while, but he finally got a bingo.  We had $5 Starbuck cards, tubes with chocolate kisses with a heart on top, and lottery cards that the first bingo of each game could choose from.  Then other bingos for that game chose from the candy container or donut container. Jared was the caller and did an excellent job.  We played a couple of speed games which he went really fast for and no repeats.  We also had coverups and those winners got to pick from the best prizes.  It was fun and lots of laughs.  We finished and then put all the snacks for the Super Bowl out on the table.  We had ham rollups, some with cream cheese and onions and some with cream cheese and pickles.  Also some just onion for Bill.  We also had hickory stick, cheese and crackers, hardboiled eggs, chips and salsa, chocolate covered strawberries and different kinds of chips.  

We were all for the Seahawks and they played great and won.  Most of the game, the other team didn’t even score, but in the last quarter they did.  We watched Turning Point USA’s half time show because the half time show in the Super Bowl had Bad Bunny who is not good entertainment, but cross dresses and doesn’t even sing in American.  They need to get back to having family friendly halftime shows, or we and many others won’t be watching.  We FaceTimed with Kenzie and Rehvyn.  Rehvyn was hiding in his favorite cupboard on us.  He was so cute.  

Everyone helped pick up and the house was nice and clean when they left.  It was such a fun and enjoyable day.  I love my family.  

Bummer of an ending to the evening.  Jacob hit a deer on his way home on Stark.  He’s ok but shook up.  Kimmy said the damage to his car is not good.  I feel so bad for him and them.  That makes 4 deer he’s hit since he’s been driving which isn’t that long.
