Super Bowl XLVI

Nicholas has been psyched about the Super Bowl for two weeks, to watch the Giants one more time this season. (I've created a monster ... mwahahaha!!!) He wore his Giants t-shirt today, definitely for the last time, assuming that he grows, you know, at all between now and September.

Anyway, it became a playoff tradition/superstition to share a spinach-artichoke dip appetizer before the game, and then to eat dinner in the living room with the game on. That may explain part of why Nicholas was so excited, but whatever. Here we are with tonight's spread:

From 2012 Feb

Nicholas was only allowed to stay up until early in the second quarter, but he had a great time watching (not least because the Giants were ahead 9-3 when he went to bed).

He's also gotten the shutter bug ... bug. At one point he jumped up and ran over to the cabinet on which his camera sits, brought it over, and started taking pictures of the TV.

He was playing with the settings, which include all sorts of fun borders, fake hats, etc. that you can overlay on the photo. He very carefully selected this, and then took a blurry portrait of Giants coach Tom Coughlin:

What prescience from the boy! I'm just disappointed we can't stress our way through a game again for seven months! But he had fun and the Giants won, so it's all good.
