The Stanley Cup...in our home...it is the pinnacle of trophies! The Pittsburgh Penguins have won the Stanley Cup three times, and three times, my husband has managed to get his picture taken with it! This time, the whole family went along! A friend of his from work, told him where it would be so we could come...and happened to be right before Tommy's wedding! I was praying that we would not be late for the wedding after standing in line...but we made it! LOL
Ahhhh...Lord Stanley,Lord Stanley!!!
This is so very special to us!!! After 2 surgeries in one year, 3 months in a body cast and months of recuperation...one of the things this little guy loved doing is watching hockey....talking about hockey, reading about hockey...and playing hockey! For Ronnie to touch the cup, see the Penguins names in there and get his picture taken with it...priceless!
Ron has had his picture taken with the cup in 1991 with his brother, Tommy...he drank out of it and got his picture taken holding it over his head in 1992, but his dream was always to get his picture taken with the cup with his son....dream come true!
Anna was NOT happy...but Ron wants to make this our Christmas picture this year! Right after this, we very quickly went to a friends home, ate sandwiches dressed for the wedding and headed to the church...with time to spare! It was so worth it to stand in line and get our pictures...a memory our family will not forget! (Especially father and son!) ~Sue~

SO cool!
That rocks!
The way Ron and Ronnie feel about their Penguins is how my Garrett feels about the Boston Red Sox (different sport, I know). Anything to do with the Sox or Fenway Park is "magical" for him.
What a fun picture. Garrett's dream photo would be all of us lined up in front on The Green Monster (the left field wall) at Fenway. It wouldn't just be a Christmas photo....it'd be on the wall in probably every room of the house.
Love,
Patti
Ronnie looks as pleased as punch! I am so glad that he got to get his picture taken with the trophy!
