Christmas #1 - Great Success!

Jimmy and I got to Columbia, MD yesterday to celebrate Christmas with Martha at about 3pm on Friday. The plan for the night was an ugly Christmas sweater cocktail party. Below is a picture of the tackiness. Jimmy also had Christmas spirit - he dressed up like Uncle Eddie from Christmas vacation.



We got here just in time as at about 9pm Friday night, we started getting dumped on with snow. Kevin unfortunately couldn't get up here because the snow came quicker in Blacksburg. He's here with us in spirit. We're hunkering down and eating, drinking and being merry.



A tradition at Martha's is hiding the Christmas pickle ornament on the tree. Whoever finds the ornament, get's a prize. After destroying the tree to find the ornament, Kelly finally came up as the big winner. The prize was custom built and painted Redskins cornhole boards. Jimmy only had to hide his jealousy for a second, because Martha quickly announced we're all getting a set! Ron spent weeks making these for us. Seriously one of the best presents ever. We'll use these and think of Ron for many, many years to come!



Next up is Dan and Marisol's for Christmas #2 as soon as the roads are somewhat cleared.
