Happy Aloha Friday!
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays let’s take it easy on posting, too. Ask a simple question…nothing that requires a lengthy response. It’s a great way to make new blogging friends!
.
Next weekend is the Super Bowl. When I was living in Seattle, my brother and I would alternate who would host the big Super Bowl party each year. It was a great excuse to have a big party, complete with lots of food and beverages of all kinds, but mostly to have all our friends and family gathered in one location for some riotous fun. After moving to Pennsylvania, since the hubby isn’t a sports fanatic and all my friends and family were thousands of miles away, that annual event has been missed, big time.
Since we have plans to move back to Washington State in the next year or two, hubby will finally get to see all the fun he’s missed. Maybe he’ll even be converted into somewhat of a sports fan to a degree. At least I never have to worry about being a Sports Widow.
So my question for you this week is:
Do you host or go to an annual Super Bowl Party, and if so, what’s the plan for this year?
Have a great weekend!

No to the Super Bowl party! No one close by that is into sports like hubby and I are…so we just plan special snacks and chill the beer. We have a blast and always love the game!!

I love going to Super Bowl parties but not hosting (yet) our kids are too young to stay up that late on Sunday. What’s not to love??
It will be good for your hubs to see the family together enjoying time. I hope he does convert a little 🙂
No plans here as yet. Don’t even know if dh will be home!
We don’t throw parties, but it would be nice to be invited to one.
We used to host a Sper Bowl party every year when our boys still lived at home and all their friends would be here. This will be the 1st year they are both out of state so not sure what we are doing.
No Super Bowl parties for us. I am not a sports fan. My husband and oldest daughter will probably watch part of the game if we don’t have anything else to do.

I go to super bowl parties, but don’t host. This year I don’t even know if I will watch seeing as how I don’t like either team or care who wins at all.
We probably will have a small Superbowl Party although we haven’t started planning anything yet. Just close friends and family. I’m not big on football but the hubby LOVES it!
I love super bowl parties & even love to host. This year I wasn’t thinking & invited some missionaries, who don’t watch sports, over for dinner. Good thing we have a dvr!
We go to my Sister-In-Laws Rox to watch the Super Bowl ! We have a blast!
GO STEELERS!!
I’m not really into football. My hubby is but we’ve never hosted or been to a Super Bowl party.

We used to host a whopper of a Super Bowl party but now it is a party for 4. Myself, Hubby and the kids. As long as there are lots of snacks and great commercials I am happy!
We don’t have any annual Super Bowl traditions but we are planning to watch the game this year since the Packers are playing and we just moved to Wisconsin two years ago, we figured it would be a good time to see one of their games.
I don’t follow sports. So no Super Bowl party for us. It’s always fun though to hear about Super bowl after wards, especially the performances and the commercials.
working in a sports bar for a million years, i used to be so prepared for the super bowl… now, it really is not a big deal to me, although i do like the commercials (when I can see them)
I’m not a sports fan so I don’t usually attend any super bowl parties. Sometimes I’ll go to my parents and hang out there while they watch the game, but that’s about it.
I really only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and half time show. I was invited to a wedding this year tho.
My husband is a huge football fan and so is our son. We don’t really have any friends that we hang out with, our children are our best couple friends. We do watch the Super Bowl so they all come over and we have a party. I like the commercials and the food!
We will be celebrating with friends at their house! But in protest I will be wearing my Chicago Bears shirt ; )
I don’t have any plans yet, can we come to your house?
oh yes…i am a huge steelers fan so i will def have one this year…we usually go over to a coffee chop my friend owns who has a big party…
I wish! i would i just want to throw a party! superbowl or no superbowl!
I don’t go out of my way to find a superbowl party, but always attend when invited. It’s usually the one game I watch all year. I’ll even buy a square or two if there’s a pool.
We used to have a Super Bowl get-together with our neighbors when we lived in the city. But now that we live in the country we don’t.
no we don’t even watch the super bowl I am so glad hubby isn’t a sports guy he is into cars instead
It has been years since I have gone to one, and since no mater how hard I try to understand the game I never do, I am actually glad not to go to any parties….
I’ve never been to a Super Bowl party, but I’d love to go. I was invited when I was pregnant with my first baby, but I was too sick to go! Hubs went without me.
I only have the energy for a ProBowl party this year. I’m backing the team with the most Albanian players. They may be a small country, but they are proud.
Hi! No Superbowl parties for me this year… but I always love a good reason for a good party! 🙂
I’m following you from the Fun Follow Friday! I’d love for you to return the favor and follow back! 🙂

I use to go to Super Bowl parties when I was younger…but now we don’t really. I try and make some fun food for the hubby and kids though.
Better start buying some Seattle Seahawk stuff to get hubby all ready for Seattle football…lol! 🙂
Back in California my brother and his family and me and my kids and and all our combined grandkids got together for Super Bowl parties. Lots of barbecue and snacks and every room in the house and back yard filled.
It was lots of fun.
But hubby and I are in the little town in the little hippie house and no super bowl party but we are doing so well it makes up for some of the things we are missing out on.
Not really football fans here. We usually get some healthy snacks to have while watching the new commercials (if we even do that).

We were invited to a house warming/super bowl party! How fun is that?

Nope! I’m going to blog hop all day while the hubby watches the game (maybe) . As I said before we’re not a sports household. We’re musicians. So, if he doesn’t feel like it he’ll probably jam on his guitar most of the day! You have fun though & a great weekend.
My husband probably would if I’d let him – but I am NOT into football! So, he watches the game and the ads – I come out for the concert (which he takes a computer break for) – and we wave at each other in between!
I used to go to Superbowl parties with the hubster prior to having kids. Now, we just stay home and munch on junk food. lol We enjoy it this way, though. Our kiddos will only be small for so long…
I usually don’t. However, the Packers actually made it this year, so we will have some people over. I’ll be making some yummy recipes just for that day too!
I love sport, so I think if I lived n america, i’;d definitely host a superbowl party, but we don’t get to watch it here in the UK!
I’m going to my bar. My ex invited me to his but it’d be way too weird.
