A Party… A Football Party

As you may or may not be aware, the University of Texas is planing on winning the National Championship tonight against Alabama. There will be a party at the P’ville Girl household. We’re having about 15 of our closest friends, family, and football fans over tonight to watch the game (in “stunning HD” of course). After 2 hours and 2 stops grocery shopping last night I was amazed at what feeding and entertaining 15 people takes. A list… in no particular order:

• 12 pounds ground beef
• 1 carton strawberries
• 2 cheesecakes
• 6 bags potato chips, assorted varieties
• 2 bags Chex Mix
• 2 bricks Velveeta Cheese
• 1 bag assorted mini chocolate candies
• 8 2 liter bottles soda, assorted varieties
• 2 bags charcoal
• 5 large bowls for previously mentioned chips and Chex Mix
• Paper plates, plastic cups, and silverware
• Disposable aluminum pans
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Onion
• Sliced American cheese
• 32 hot dogs
• Shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 box Triscuts
• 1 box Wheat Thins
• Sliced Dill Pickles
• Bacon
• Cranberry juice
• Orange juice
• 2 cans baked beans
• Ketchup
• 2 cans hot dog sauce
• 2 pkgs sausage
• tortillas
• Mustard
• Hot dog and hamburger buns
• Bottled water

And of course, the puppy dog thought it was all for her:

I don’t plan on doing a 2009 retrospective, I think I’d rather just move on and think about next year.  I do plan on giving my self some weekly goals, which I also plan on tracking here on the blog, should be starting that up next week!  In the mean time, here’s some photos from our holiday:

The mantle.  We had to take down the stockings… they were in danger of burning!
