Superbowl

Our day started out with some very excited barking dogs...They wanted to get outside REALLY BAD...Why? Oh because there is a giant moose right behind our fence! We see moose all the time up here, but I still think it is really exciting! They are just so dang big and goofy looking! We did not let the dogs out then, but later after the moose meandered away. It also began snowing which is always fun and beautiful! So on to the day's festivities. Dustin came over and the guys, and Chloe spent some man time brewing some spruce tip beer and making chili. Remember when we collected the spruce tips this last spring? Well we finally put them to some good use.

The brewed beer :) It won't be ready to drink for a few weeks.
But never fear, we had a bunch more that is ready to go. We chill our beer in a special way up here in Alaska. We just stick it in the snow- right outside our door! Since it was the superbowl, Andrew wanted to be sure we had domestic beer- I guess it seemed more American? As you can see the crowd was very patriotic.

Chloe made the rounds at the party and especially enjoyed her time with Conor. She was a very happy, very social girl that day. She must be a football fan.

Chloe wasn't the only one who had a good time. As you can see Andrew also enjoyed the superbowl this year. (Sorry Dustin)

It is always nice to get our friends together, and it seems like these days it doesn't happen too often! I have been busy busy busy with work and then also with organizing and baby proofing. It never ends. I have so much to catch up on..... more blog posts to come!
