After work on Friday we headed up to the Brooksider for their little Christmas party. They had discounted drinks and free food! After a couple hours there we decided to head home and do our gift exchange. If you didn’t know I got Kim a ReplayTV box. It’s similar to TiVo but has even more advanced features. I haven’t got it completely setup yet, but I think I’ll do that tonight. I had to get a few extra wires and a router for the network. Thanks to Phil for bringing over an extra router! After we get it setup though we can have it record all of our TV shows automatically, which is great because we always forget somehow. Kim got me a brand new guitar! I tried to serenade her but I could barely remember the few things I learned a few years back. I’m excited to give it another chance though and see if I can figure out how to play this thing. :)

Saturday we had a nice run outside, it was a great day! We had lunch at D’Bronx which might be my new favorite KC pizza place. Afterward we took care of a few errands, like haircuts. Later on in the night we went over to another Christmas party at the Martins house (friend of Doni & Phil). It’s much easier going to a party than throwing one, so it was nice!

Sunday we had to wake up early to get ready for the Chiefs. We put layers and layers on and then met up with Amanda and Joel. The drive to the game was easy especially since we took the back roads. The tailgating probably wasn’t as big as normal (because of the weather) but there were still a bunch of people out cooking and drinking. We decided to head to the VIP tent for a bit before the game. They had big screen TVs, foosball tables and the best part, heat. Joel had 2 sets of tickets. They went to the close ones in the lower section and we went to the others in the second row of the upper section. What we found out later was that tickets we got were in the sun, while the ones they kept were in the shade. This forced them back to the tent even before half time. Before that though, the game was great. Dante Hall scored a touchdown within the first 15 seconds of the game! Not a bad start to my first ever Chiefs game. We met up with the others at halftime and stayed in the tent for most of the second half. Kim and I did try and sit in the lower level seats for a couple of minutes, but once we finished our nachos it was decided that it was in fact too cold. Despite the weather we all had a great time, and I would definitely do it again.
Afterward we went back to our apartment and had the normal Sunday crew over for fajitas and margaritas. It was a great end to a very busy weekend!

I guess I should have said that I put some pictures up from the past few days. Now that I have a camera again, there should be regular updates to the photos section!
