time to make the doughnuts!

if you live in the city of pittsburgh you can't help but be stoked for this weeks super bowl game. i love the hype! i've been wearing my steeler socks and steeler earrings. we're flying our steeler flag out front and i already have my munchie menu planned for sunday's game. but the best part, according to ross (and i really must agree), are the doughnuts! i present to you the Roethlisberger donut!

made by the nice people at Donut Connection, these treats aren't just for breakfast anymore! the brown part in the middle is half of a glazed chocolate donut and the outside, a hole-less donut complete with sesame seeds and a #7. the lettuce, mustard and katsup is, of course, icing. i'm embarrassed to tell you how many of these my family has consumed these last 3 weeks. we've eaten roethlisberger donuts for ross' birthday and every playoff game this season.

so place your orders now! the doughnut shop will only be selling them through sunday. after that you're going to have to wait a whole year until the steelers make the playoffs next season. go steelers!

happy birthday, boys!

a belated happy birthday to my two favorite people! we celebrated john's birthday (january 31st) with dinner at his favorite local brewery and a quiet night at home watching the ball drop... happy new year, by the way. ross chose pierogies for his birthday dinner (January 6th) and this friday he's invited 5 of his best buds for a birthday sleepover. ross is now 11 and john, 41. happy birthday, gentlemen! i love you!
