3. Super Bowl: With Super Bowl Sunday it's hard to say whether it's food or football that rules the day. But one thing is for sure, a football party without food is a fumble. And while some will be slaving over their hot stoves all day leading up to the game, many party planners will be ordering in.

4. Locks of Love: Four third grade students from Saint James School decided to cut their long beautiful hair to give back to others who needed their help. These selfless young girls donated their cut ponytails to Locks of Love and Pantene Great Lengths, organizations that provide hairpieces to disadvantaged children suffering from long term hair loss. Between all four girls they cut and donated over 42 inches of hair. Click to see a photo.
