Well, the Holiday Spectacular thrown by Roundball and McSteans was a lot of fun on Saturday night. Here's a picture of the fire pit out back that I spent a good portion of my evening trying to get going. Knowing that Cousin John had at one time been in the boy scouts (and tired of being inundated by countless useless suggestions), I asked him how he would get the fire started. He gave me a strange look and disappeared. About ten minutes later he reappeared with a Duraflame. Them boy scouts ain't fools.

Andy F. got real excited about his X-mas presents. He was smooching all kinds of people, even when their hair smelled like a poo festival.




















The Pea and Elf Rami were also filled with holiday cheer. I think Rami mighta stole some stuff.







Anyhoo, it was a great party, and I think a good time was had by all. Cousin Sue stopped by as well as Cousin John with his lovely wife, Julie (they drove all the way from Houston, so they win the X-mas spirit award!). It was good to see Shoemaker, Pat, Harms, Mangum, Peabo, Zoomie, and a whole bunch of other people I hadn't seen in awhile!
Somehow Team Bloom escaped without ever being photgraphed. They're party ninjas. Anyway, thanks for throwing the shindig, Ryan and Jamie! I know it's kind of a pain in the ass to host these things, but we sure enjoyed it!!!!
