Christmas Vacation

We had a great quite Christmas here in Charlotte. My dad came and stayed which was great. We watched lots of college football and enjoyed the rare white Christmas.

My dad and I took a day trip to the triangle and visited Duke and UNC. Had some great BBQ at the Pit in Raleigh.
We went to the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte on New Year's Eve. Clemson got their tail kicked by USF. It was a good time and great weather for a football game.

Go Big Red!

Holden is all set for college football season. Our very own Lil' Red to help cheer on the Huskers this year.

Football, Bacon Explosion and Good Times

Labor day weekend symbolizes everything about Fall for us. Its the start of college football, cool weather, city festivals, birthdays and our favorite holiday Halloween. So, we did it up in style. Saturday we hosted a College Football kick-off party. Jeremy made a pork monstrosity of bacon wrapped in pork sausage wrapped in bacon, grilled and sliced for everyone to enjoy. It was delicious but a little over indulgent. Our teams won their opening games, and we had a great time with friends.

The weather around here gave us a little bit of a reprieve from the summer heat and we have been able to open the windows at night. I'm sure its short lived but appreciated. We have been harvesting hot peppers and tomatoes galore out of our garden and are thinking about trying our hand at some winter veggies for the first time.

We are headed to a cookout this evening. You can't have a complete labor day weekend without a cookout.
