Last weekend, CB and I threw a joint Birthday/Christmas/Football watching party at our place. The vast majority of our group of friends, myself included, have a December birthday. We wanted to throw a party to celebrate the college football regular season coming to a close, each and every December birthday and of course, those beautiful tacky sweaters that everyone loves to wear.
General asked if he could wear his Christmas sweater to the party. I never say no to my little boy, so I dug it out of the closet and helped him get dressed. (LOLZZ) So handsome.
Veenie was jealous, so I helped her put her (way too small) Santa suit on.
The vet put Veenie on a diet, so no one taunt her with chips and salsa, ok?? That just wouldn't be fair.
I had ordered a tacky sweater for myself nearly a month earlier from Etsy, but the seller's page ended up being a scam and I never received it. I had to go with a backup I found at Walmart which turned out to be quite the popular sweater, seeing as CB's best friend Justin arrived wearing the exact same thing! Twins!
We had about 20 people coming over that night, so I called one of my absolute favorite restaurants the day before, Chipotle, and ordered catering. I went with The Big Spread, and opted for chicken, steak and carnitas. I scheduled my pickup time for 5:30pm, and when I got there, everything I needed to setup my party feast was packed and waiting for me.
Setup was a breeze, and even included bowls, napkins forks, chafing stands, steam pans and fuel.

I filled my Chiptle bowl up and posted up on the couch to watch the three major conference championship games going on that night. We of course have that two TV setup in the living room: Fantasy Football, level expert.
After we ate, some of us an embarrassing amount more than others, we all grabbed a spot on the couch for our white elephant gift exchange. We had the idea to do the white elephant exchange last minute, so we decided to take the guess work out of it and make it a liquor exchange. The rules were that you could only spend $20, and it must come from the liquor store. There was a lot of fireball.... a whole lot of fireball.
