The Eagles won!! Valentine's Day!! And The Oscars...

Hey guys!!  So, the Eagles won their first ever Super Bowl!!  How awesome is that?!  It was such a fun game to watch (and slightly stressful... haha), and McGee was SO beyond happy at the end of the game. And McGee made sure to take off work on Thursday and Friday of this last week so that he could go to the Eagles Parade!  He met up with Timmy and Mo in the city, and they had a blast at the parade!!  I had to work that day, but it is CRAZY how many people at my work took the day off!!  I was one of like 4 people there, so I was BUSY.  I have a few pictures from McGee's parade experience!!

Super cool "Philly" skywriting! 

Mo, McGee, and Timmy! 

That's Jason Kelce! He put on one of the Mummers costumes. And his speech was epic if you have time to look that up. 

Valentine's Day is on a Wednesday this year!  Such a bummer.  I love when it's on a weekend, because then we can just chill all day.  We did some of our Valentinesy activities this weekend though!  We went bowling on Sunday, but OH MY GOSH it was crowded!!  It was a super rainy day, so I think that's why... But we bowled two games (I lost both of them... boo...), and then we went home and watched a horror movie!  That's one of our traditions.  We got "It" from Redbox and watched that, and then we made homemade pasta for dinner (another Valentine's tradition for us).  It was a lovely day!! 

The Oscars are coming up soon!!  I loooove watching The Oscars, and I can't really explain why.  It's just been a fun event for as long as I can remember, and it's something I look forward to every year. McGee and I have also been trying to watch the Best Picture nominees for the past 5 years or so (I think we only saw all of them one year though... but most years we see a majority of them!).  Here are this year's Best Picture nominees, and my thoughts on them so far:

1. Call Me By Your Name - I literally know nothing about this movie.  I think there's a kid in it?  That's about all I know.  Haha :)  I haven't even seen a trailer.

2. Darkest Hour - I know this is about Winston Churchill, but that's all I know!  I haven't seen a trailer yet.

3. Dunkirk - McGee and I saw this when it was in theaters, and we loved it!  It's amazing, and the cinematography was incredible. Great movie! 

4. Get Out - Oh my gosh you guys.  We are late to the game on this one, but we just saw this for the first time last week. And... holy shit.  That's all I can say about this one. It was SO GOOD, and it definitely stays with you!!  I am proud to say that I predicted a few of the "twists", but definitely not some of the others. Awesome movie. 

5. Lady Bird - I haven't seen this yet, but I'm soooooo excited to see it.  I've really really really been wanting to see this, and I've had multiple people tell me I'm going to love it. I know it takes place in the Sacramento area, and I know it stars Saoirse Ronan (who I looove... She starred in the movie Brooklyn a few years back), but that's about all I know so far!

6. Phantom Thread - This one seems super boring, and to be honest I don't really have any interest in trying to see this one.  I might try to watch another trailer or two and see if that makes me more interested... but so far nope. I know it stars Daniel Day-Lewis (and he's always amazing), but that's it.

7. The Post - I know this one is about the Washington Post, and I know it stars Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, and it's directed by Spielberg.  So, it's probably awesome, but I haven't really seen any trailers or anything for it!  I'm sure we'll try to see this one though.

8. The Shape of Water - I know this one is by Guillermo del Toro... and that's about it!  I've also heard this one is awesome, but I haven't even seen a trailer for it yet.

9. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - I didn't even know the full name of this one (I thought it was just "Three Billboards"), but I know it stars Frances McDormand and Peter Dinklage... and I know there are three billboards... and that's about it.  I did see a trailer for this one, and it looked funny. I definitely want to see this one.

So, we've seen 2 out of 9!  And I think we only have a few weeks... So I'm hoping we get to 5 out of 9.  We will see what happens!  :)  I hope you're all doing really great, and I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
