I was going to write a post telling the story of this amazing team and their journey toward becoming champions, but then I had these guys
and their fans
over to my house to celebrate this
and my Sunday was a wee bit rough. But I must say that if there was a sobriety test involving cake decorating, I might just pass (though perhaps not with flying colors).
(Being a highly superstitious person and unwilling to risk jinxing a victory, I did not so much as buy one bag of chips in advance of throwing this very impromptu party—which was a blowout befitting the occasion.)
Congrats to the team!! I totally understand the superstition thing as I will never anticipate the outcome of one of my kids games!

Yay!! Congratulations to the team. I was so hoping you would be posting their victory.
And how has the tournament and last minute party affected your Thanksgiving schedule? I'm sure you would rather have to deal with an abbreviated Thanksgiving schedule and a state championship than to have finished the season a few weeks ago.

I'm not superstitious, but I'd hate to have bags of chips floating around my house so I applaud your last-minute party skillz.
Congratulations to DB and his team!

Who needs chips when there is awesome chocolate cake to celebrate with! Congrats to all, pretty cool! We don't have water polo here in our area, just winter season swim teams and in the summer swim/dive competitions. Way to go guys!
