Laker Party!!!

This year my kids have decided that they are "huge" Laker fans. So of course we had to have a party and watch the game. This also started a friendly rivalry between my brother Adam and myself. He, of course, of cheering for the Celtics as we were cheering for the Lakers. He asked me why........... really the only answers I had were....... we live here, and the kids LOVE the LAKERS. :> So then my question to him was .....why NOT?! Hunter and Tanner had also heard the name Kobe Bryant and have decided he is the best player around and love watching him. They also believe that one day they will grow up and play for the Lakers and be better than him.( tha's my boys). Naturally, this meant we had to become their biggest cheering section.(and possibly the youngest)

As Thursday approached so did the excitment of watching"final" game. This time we decided to go all out though and really have a party instead of just having the game on and watching. We made our purple hats! (it is hard to see but you can see that they say "Go Lakers". Each one of the kids designed their own hat.

We made some posters!!! Cheered....... yelled...... and chanted. The kids even got away with a little jumping on the furniture. Of course, throughout the game we had to text Uncle Adam and remind him that even though we were down we were going to win!!! The kids were great at chanting "DEFENSE", and "SCORE".

And what is a party without pizza, wings, breadsticks, soda and cookies!!! Come on we know how to party!!!

Once the game ended and we were victorious. We had to text Uncle Adam and express our deepest condolences that the Celtics lost. We are sorry. In your face, buddy!!! (where do my kids learn these horrible slang phrases?) And this is the picture mail we got back. HAHAHAHA. Now he swears it is just a close up of his knuckles...... hmmmm...... what do you think? We will let you be the judge. We love you Uncle Adam!!! Have a great weekend!!!!
