Our wintry weekend was cool, quick and quite jolly thanks to our hockey family. Last night, we headed over to Finland’s house for Goalielocks’ team party. As expected, the party did not disappoint. All of us had a marvelous and jolly time from start to finish. Heck, we would have stayed later if the Mayor wasn’t obsessed with getting enough rest for his games today.
The food was exquisite and unending. We brought chili cheese dip and a baked brie. Unfortunately, the hubby worked late, so we were about an hour late. As I was getting dressed, our dog Maya stole the bake brie out of its pan and devoured it quickly. Fortunately, she didn’t break my brie pan and it wasn’t cooked yet, so she didn’t burn herself. As I waited for the Hubby, I headed up to Publix to buy another wheel of brie.
We brought beer, ciroc and LaCRoix as beverages to accompany our food selections. As always, Peach Ciroc mixed with Peach Pear LaCroix was a solid beverage choice. This drink, which is both low calorie and low carb was truly magnificent. The best part, however, was the lack of hangover this morning. I’ll have to buy another bottle before our next party!
Like I said, we could have stayed at the party all night. These people are our family and time flies when you’re hanging out with them. Unfortunately, the Mayor had games this morning, so we had to be somewhat responsible with our night. I love that my Mayor is so diligent about getting enough sleep before he plays!
This morning’s game was pretty good. We ended up winning 2-0, but could have easily been much 6-0. Their goalie was on fire that game! Unfortunately, as well as the morning game went, the evening game was disastrous. The sin bin was busy including a visit from the Mayor. Of course, as he entered the box, he plead his innocence. Truth be told, the Mayor had the hit of the game. Unfortunately, there’s no checking at peewee. Doh!
As we left the rink, Air Force One was taxiing off to take off from PBI. We drove down Southern until we found a spot just North of the road to watch the jet take off. My kid’s are aviation fanatics, so this a takeoff we simply couldn’t miss. No sooner had we pulled over when Air Force One started barreling down the runway. While Hubby and the Mayor videotaped it, I face-timed Goalielocks so he could watch it live. When I tell you they’re into aviation, I cannot emphasize enough how much they love it.
Air Force One took of into the sunset. It was a beautiful, resplendent sunset as the world’s most advanced jumbo jet climbed into the sky. The Mayor was beyond thrilled to have watched the big, beautiful bird leave PBI. Now we’re home trying to unthaw as we cook fajitas! The air temperatures are only in the 50s here in South Florida, which by are standards is quite cold. Consequently, unthawing from a day at the rink is a bit harder tonight!
Finally, I wanted to again share the link for a family that is in dire need of our support during an imaginably difficult time. If you are able to, please consider helping this family. Here is the link: Youcaring
Tonight’s song is “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” as performed by Michael Buble.
Living in Hawaii, we used to see Air Force One quite often when Obama was president. It was quite the deal when he came for his annual Christmas trip. I even bumped into the First Lady and their girls while hiking Koko Head!
It’s truly a sight to be seen! My boy was over the moon watching it take off.
That would be so cool. They have it blocked off pretty good here so we can’t see too much. But, I’m a creeper and we peeked through the fence 😉
Yea, I was surprised how you had such great seats at the take off. Fun.
We were too actually. I didn’t think we would be able to get so close. My boys are super grateful we did though
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! Michael Buble is always a favorite of mine. I hated to hear about his son’s cancer diagnosis!
Hope you continue to have a fantastic holiday season! Best! xoxo
Krista, thanks for stopping by. My heart absolutely broke for the Buble family when their son was diagnosed. I am so glad to hear that he is doing well now.
