The Broncos won!

Our household is definitely a Steelers household.  However, before I got married, I was a Broncos fan.  More specifically, I was a John Elway fan, but I've always loved the Broncos.  Being a western team we don't always get to watch them and it's just easier to be a Steelers fan.  When the Broncos signed Peyton Manning, it definitely renewed my interest, and my youngest absolutely loves all things Manning.  He even knows about the older brother who never played in the NFL...he just loves Mannings!  Andrew claimed he didn't care who won the Super Bowl, but as the game went on, he realized he was definitely rooting for Denver...and especially Peyton.  We had to put our little Manning fan to bed at halftime, and although he was good about it, it just about broke my heart when he said, "Don't forget to tell me in the morning which team won."  I really wanted to let him stay up and then stay home today, but that sets a precedent that I just don't think is such a good idea.  It wasn't the prettiest game every, but I was so excited and so very happy that Manning and the Broncos brought home the trophy.  I was wearing my Elway jersey and I'm glad I didn't curse the team...they always seem to lose when I wear it.  This morning I met Thomas as I was coming out of my room, I put my arms up and smiled and he said very excitedly, "The Broncos won?"  When I confirmed he gave me a big hug.  I am so grateful to be able to share these moments with my little guy!
