HAWKS WIN!

The Chicago Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup!
(or as DD said "family cup")

This is our son who refused to let us buy anything Hawks for him as they won their way through the playoffs, for fear of jinxing them...ok - I'll buy that! So this is him with a shirt in a store window that expressed his feelings WAY back toward the beginning of the season./a

I am by no means a hockey fan but I've been on the bandwagon the last week and it's been a fun ride. DS has been really into hockey the past few years and we have literally had to drag him away from the TV a few times this year when the Hawks were playing. He said around Christmas time that this was going to be the year - and he was right! He is a HUGE Patrick Kane fan (you hear that, Mr. Kane...don't let your celebrity go to your head - there's lots of kids watching!). When Patrick Kane lifted the Cup last night, it reduced DS to tears of joy!

He & DH were even lucky enough to have been invited to go to a game with an outing from my work and they had a GREAT time! The boys are headed to Chi-town tomorrow for the victory parade and rally.

Congratulations, Chicago Blackhawks!
