Tradition continued with us hosting Christmas Eve. This year Julie did Thanksgiving, and Mom does Christmas Day - so we get to do the Clam Chowder (OK, Julie makes it).
Did a BBQ brisket and a braised brisket, which I think came out well complements of the New Best Recipe Cookbook. We also had fun playing with a remote controlled helicopter from Brookstone. I thought the puppy was going to bust in the first 5 minutes, but it's still going strong.
