As we all know, the entire state of Colorado became tickled orange and blue when Payton Manning lead the Denver Broncos to the playoff this season. After a great regular season, Broncos fans across the nation prepared themselves for the Super Bowl!
We spent the four weeks of the playoffs cheering on our team and supporting them by proudly rocking orange and blue in any way possible.
Peabody had weekly spirit days and each Friday the playground was flooded with team spirit!
Even Owen and Gus joined in the excitement that filled the cool Denver air!
There was no question that the Broncos would make it to the Super Bowl...
...and they did!
With no efforts to contain our excitement we spent the two weeks leading up the big game preparing to vicariously hoist the Lombardi trophy!
There were decorations...
..and beer pong...
...and delicious food...
...and friends!
Hosting the big party is never an easy feat. There were 13 kids at our house so it was important that we had entertainment planned.
The kids spent hours out in the snow building an igloo!
The final product.
We also set up a TV in Elizabeth's room. We filled the room with snacks and the little kids spent most of their time watching Croods!
The grown ups had a TV in the kitchen so that we wouldn't have to miss a play.
The game began, and then it ended. Period.
With heavy heads and heavy hearts, we watched the Denver Broncos destroy their chances of victory, one disappointing play at a time.
There's always next year...or something like that!
If nothing else, we enjoyed great company throughout the entire season. I am always amazed at how a game can bring so many people together. The Broncos ultimately brought the community together. We were UNITED IN ORANGE and even though Seattle got the homecoming parade, we are true Broncos fans at heart and we will look forward to next season, undoubtedly!
