Merry Christmas!

What a weekend! Friday we went over to my parent's house for Christmas eve dinner with my Mom's side of the family, then Bryan and I had Christmas morning at our house; then back to my parent's for breakfast and presents... after that we went up to other grandma and grandpa's up the street for another gathering (photo attached!) and then to Bryan's parent's house for yet another Christmas with the family and a delicious dinner! We were incredibly spoiled and filled with goodies all day. It was wonderful. It is so nice having the majority of our family so close by; we are both very lucky. We had a fantastic day and we hope you did as well!

Tree pics

Last Sunday we went out and got a tree! I apologize about the slow-posting, I figured it was time to spread a little cheer (better late than never!) We both got a little lazy this year and decided to 'save' a tree from Lowes rather than go out and hunt one... right now the tree has undergone only two puppy attacks; hopefully Walter will learn that we're not doing this just for him! (His favorite thing outdoors are trees; I'm sure he found it awesome that we brought one inside)

Happy early Christmas :) (Yesterday, tons of Christmas shopping-- more to go! It never ends!)

Brie + Burger = Awesome.

My parents bought half of a free roamin' cow, and were sweet enough to give us a few pounds of hamburger from it... Bryan got ahold of it, ad behold! A roasted garlic and brie stuffed burger, with brie on top. HOLY COW (literally). Amazing beef, amazingly cooked-- I was so impressed I had to post! Apparently, happy cows make happy cheese (and happy beef as well! Well, sort of... :)
