Philly Philly

the super bowl was a pretty big deal in the colella house this year! 


our beloved eagles were in the big game and we were down for all things philly!  i even got some nail polish strips that matched their colors.  

when the big day arrived, we made sure we had all of our snacks and piles of dirty laundry ready to go.  piles of dirty laundry?  what in the world?  well, my friends, let me explain.  

as we entered the playoffs, toby found that when the eagles were needing a little boost, if he started folding his laundry, they would bounce back and so it became his "thing".  as michael scott says..."i'm not superstitious, i'm just a little stitious".  

so, as the game commenced, so did the cleaning.  we had laundry going and a dirty kitchen all set for him to make sure the eagles were playing well. 

meanwhile, roman and i relaxed on the couch in our designated spots and if we moved, we were promptly scolded to sit back down.  but, as you can imagine, as the game went on, we were on the edge of our seats and i even caught roman crossing his fingers and holding his breath as touchdowns were reviewed.  

by the 4th quarter, toby felt secure enough to sit down for short periods at a time and the boys were celebrating each small victory that led our underdogs to their big win.  (see the folded laundry piling up on the island?😂

the colella boys were watching their dreams come true before their eyes.  

in the end, the game was magical.  we watched our team do what no one thought they could.  i loved watching toby and roman bond over an amazing season.  

whatever next season brings, we are ready for it.  we will always be superfans!

E A G L E S, Eagles!!!
