We decided to have a Super Bowl party for some of the international students. I found these cute plates and napkins at Costco and fixed a baked potato bar, meatballs, hot wings, 7 layer dip and any other traditional party food I could think of. Tom met them at the metro and walked with them to the apartment.
We had a bunch of games and prizes that required no knowledge of football but just a luck of the draw. Everyone ended up winning something so that was good. Tom tried to explain what was happening…especially when they were winning prizes because they had drawn the "First turnover/Denver" or "First field goal/Seattle" paper out of the bucket. Lots of food and fun!
My friend Kristin also came. We met in a bible study class and she too has a student in the international student organization though she too is a student and studying law. She's also gluten intolerant so always whips up yummy things so she can eat! She brought some yummy brownies and some crispy buffalo chickpeas. Her student (and mine) couldn't come because they either had Chinese New Year festivities or had spent TOO MUCH TIME at said festivities and needed to study. Luke, Ping and Chuyao all stayed through the halftime show but then had to leave to also study. I had planned on that since the game didn't start until 6:30 on the East Coast. The girls brought me these beautiful paper cuttings which are a traditional folk handicraft of China and get put in windows or on walls and Tom's student Zimo also brought us the door hanging to put up through the Chinese New Year. It started Jan 31st and goes for 15 days. It is the year of the horse!
