The Olympics are a big deal in my family. As M likes to say, "The Olympics are Kristi's sport." I can watch the most mundane of winter sports as long as they are part of the Olympics. I love the personal stories that are brought out when so many athletes from so many varied cultures all come together. Needless to say, I am way looking forward to the Opening Ceremonies tonight.
M made the Opening Ceremonies all the more special when he proposed to me while we were watching the Athens Opening Ceremony in 2004. So, now it is somewhat of a tradition in our family to have snacks and watch the Opening Ceremonies. (I had a great snack spread the night of our engagement thanks to a Tastefully Simple party I had hosted during the week.)
Tonight my parents happen to be coming to visit, so I am planning an extra yummy snacky/supper in honor of the Games.

I so wish that we lived closer to each other, because this sounds like exactly how I feel about the Olympics, and I would love to have someone to have a party with. Hope yours is awesome!!
