Big Burger Day!

I have say that tonight trumps a lot of news and happenings around here at the Doeren household. Would you believe that Connor at the age of 7 has NEVER eaten a hamburger! I have made turkey burgers a few times and recently have been making him eat some, but he has not enjoyed it and has never had any of kind of hamburger or cheeseburger from anywhere. Well, Bryan told the boys that he makes really good burgers, which he does and he has been wanting me to buy ground beef for a while as a treat. So, we put it on the Superbowl menu along with their favorite potato chips and even a Sprite....just a night full of goodies. Connor decided that he was ready to try a real burger on a bun with pickle and everything! He has been building himself up all day counting down the time and not eating to much so he was ready! It was really quite cute! Brody has enjoyed both a Burger King and a McDonalds cheeseburger in the past but too has never had one made at home. He was not to interested and tried to get us to drive through instead!


But we moved forward as planned and I am happy to report that they BOTH liked them! I have to say I couldn't beleive my eyes and am grateful for cameras that capture moments like these....



It was real history in the making!
Now for the Superbowl, we were all going for the Arizona Cardinals, but it was a great game and that was a lot of fun too! Now, we have to see if Connor can survive the off season!

Looks like some good burgers! By the way I think we have the same couch as you or at least they look very much alike.

Way to go Connor!!

I don't know what Caleb is going to do now that football season is over. He was wanting AZ to win. He was very sad at the final outcome.

Looks you you threw a great super bowl party!!!

Yum! What a big day at your house. Glad they enjoyed them.
I'm a little worried for my husband in the off season, too. He must have said three times yesterday this was the end of the season. And he sounded truly depressed!
