Christmas Time is Here!

This past weekend, Aaron and I hosted a "Beer Christmas" party!  The general premise is that everybody brings an appetizer and some beer... but each bottle is individually wrapped in wrapping paper.  When you go to get a beer, it's like Christmas!  Except you mostly just hope it doesn't suck.

I failed to take ANY pictures of the party... it was fun though!  Lots of people, good conversation, some Euchre, some Cards Against Humanity, manly cigars, and lots of festive beers!

There were a few Smirnoff Ice's thrown in for good measure... and we had to enlighten people as to what it meant to get "iced".  In their defense, I'd never heard of it either... Aaron had to tell me.

Aaron used the opportunity to purchase a 13 pound brisket and smoke it in the pit barrel cooker...


It was ginormous and we had so many leftovers, it's not even funny.

So our party is completed, our leftovers are going to be eaten tonight (at least as much as 8 people can eat), and all we have let to do before Christmas is wrap gifts and watch the rest of the Christmas movies!

This is pretty much what this week will look like:


It will be Aaron and I enjoying some hot chocolate and tea on the couch watching Christmas movies while the pups beg to get belly rubs and ear scratches in between bouts of sprinting and wrestling over 2 week old raw-hides in the backyard...

I love this time of year!  Merry Christmas!
