Official Start of NHL Season

We can't help it, we are Canadian, and we love hockey - even our girls at 2 and 5 love hockey. Miss Pear even has a favorite team in the East and the West!

We got all excited when preseason started and then hardly any of the games were televised. Very disappointing.

But the Montreal and Toronto game will be televised tonight. Did I mention that both my husband and daughter are die hard Canadiens fans? (That would be Montreal). So I pretty much know what we will be doing this evening.

And I feel the need to make a cake to celebrate.

What does a hockey night look like in our home?

Well, we sometimes eat in front on the TV - a huge rarity around here. Actually, it only happens for hockey or a rare and special movie night. With it being the start of the season it will be an eat in front of the tv night. I make something fun for dessert, of course. And once the supper supplies are cleared from in front of the TV either trains or playmobile are set up and we spend the rest of the time playing and watching and laughing together.

There are no square eyed TV zombie looks, we are all laughing and talking and having fun together. It is wonderful.
