STEELERS FOOTBALL PARTY 8YRS. OLD  THIS YEAR WE DECIDED TO HAVE A STEELER FOOTBALL PARTY FOR MY SON WHO TURNED 8 JANUARY 2ND. WE STARTED WITH THE INVITATIONS THAT I MADE ON OUR COMPUTER. THE FRONT SAID "HELP US KICK OFF KYLE'S 8TH BIRTHDAY"  INSIDE SAID "ARE YOU A STEELER FAN? MAYBE A BROWNS A EAGLE FAN? SHOW YOUR TEAM SRIRIT BY WEARING YOUR FAVORITE NFL TEAM GEAR".  ON THE OTHER PAGE IT SAID "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?? HOW ABOUT A BIRTHDAY PARTY? KICK OFF TIME 2:00 DON'T SIT ON THE BENCH R.S.V.P."  WE HAD THE PARTY ON OUR LOCAL PIZZA PLACE THAT ONLY CHARGED US FOR THE PIZZA AND POP THE HAD THE WHOLE PLACE TO OURSELVES. I GOT STEELER PLATES FROM GIANT EAGLE AND A STEELER CAKE AND BALLOONS FROM OUR LOCAL GROCERY STORE. I ALSO GOT BLACK AND YELLOW PLATES, TABLE COVERS, NAPKINS, AND STREAMERS FROM A PARTY SUPPLY. I GOT "NERF" FOOTBALLS FROM THE DOLLAR ONLY STORE AND GAVE ONE TO EACH GUEST AS A PARTY FAVOR. I HAD ONE OF THOSE FOOTBALL CROCK POTS SO I MADE CHEESE/SALSA DIP WITH NACHOS. AS FOR GAMES... THE WHOLE TIME THE BACKGROUND MUSIC WAS PLAYING "HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO STEELERS" SO WE PLAYED LIKE HOT POTATOE/MUSICAL CHAIRS (AS THE MUSIC PLAYED THEY STOOD IN A CIRCLE PASSING AROUND A FOOTBALL AND WHEN THE MUSIC STOPPED THE ONE WITH THE FOOTBALL WAS OUT) THE LAST ONE IN WON A PRIZE.   THE OTHER GAME WAS WE MADE TWO LINES AND HAD SOMEONE HOLD TWO HOLA HOOPS AND THEY HAD TO TAKE TURNS THROWING THE FOOTBALL THROUGH THE HOLA HOOPS IF THE MADE IT THEY WENT TO THE END OF THE LINE UNTIL ONLY TWO WERE LEFT AND THEY BOTH GOT A PRIZE. THEN I GOT A FOOTBALL PINATA FROM WALMART AND LET THEM TAKE TURNS AT THAT. EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME AND ALMOST EVERYONE (KID AND ADULTS) WORE STEELERS JERSEYS SO IT REALLY ADDED TO THE DECORATIONS.
