Graber Christmas - Battle of the Briskets

Christmas afternoon we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's for another Christmas celebration.
We deemed it the battle of the briskets.
We each had a brisket in our freezer from our last farm beef and we made them at home
and brought them to feed everyone.
They were all very good - one baked, one grilled and one smoked/blackened.
We had fun teasing each other but enjoyed tasting them all!


Grandma is very intentional with her gift giving and chooses a special item for each grandchild.
Dryce, new North Face jacket, Sam tennis racket, Tyson SC backback, Joe action camera, Shaylee backpack.  Sam had asked for chinese checkers and Shannon picked them up for him.  

 We found Stephen Curry basketball shoes for Tyson and picked them up for him.
 He also read the Christmas story for us this year

Grandma's pretty table with special punch and dessert and this year
she had special hot chocolate brewing in the crockpot with marshmallow stirrers

 Strawberries for the birthday boy
And some fun games to get us all laughing!

One of our many rounds of Tenzi this break

 And finally the cleanup - complete with some help from these guys!

Oh,grandpa!
