the evening was even more complete with a BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP sooner win!! with aggies, longhorns, bulldogs, & vols in attendance, the win was even sweeter. {not going to lie, i completely counted us out in the first half. big come back, boys.} what a way to go out of the big 12!

what a great idea is this: since we all came from around the country to birmingham for residency, we each made a gift basket from our home state to share! everyone brought great gifts with fun stories from their home states. it was super neat.
what is from oklahoma? great stuff! the pioneer woman cookbook, of course. firewater wine - spicy jalapeno wine & it's actually pretty good. bedre chocolates. lasley peanuts. salsa, hot sauce, smoked sausage, beef jerky, spicy jam, an oklahoma shot glass. & a pair of native american earring, courtesy of dave porter.
{amy & ogden were the winners of the oklahoma basket!}
{marybeth & weston received the san angelo, texas basket
with the prized sombrero, shiner holiday beer, chips & salsa}
{sarah & will, very happily, got the tennessee basket with a little jack}
{crystal & josh with their georgia basket
of paula dean goodies, georgia pecans, & sweetwater beer}
{we won the houston, texas basket!
dr pepper, valentino's hot sauce, real mexican tortillas - blake was meant to win this basket;
bucees - the most addictive little desserts on the planet;
& saint arnold amber ale}
merry christmas, friends!
love love,
kjp.
