Hoiliday Soiree 2010

This year was our third annual Smith Holiday Soiree and it was a real hit.
On the menu were mini sirloin burgers grilled to perfection, with tons of fixins to choose from.
Some of this year's party highlights included : ugly Christmas shirt contest, Oreo challenge from Minute to Win It, a custom-made game of Family Feud with questions about our family and Christmas, a white elephant gift exchange, and a drunk driving incident. Yes, that is what I said.
Here is Aaron manning the grillAnd me showcasing my dinner
Kai's car, which he just purchased 5 days prior, was parked out front of our apartment and a drunk driver slammed into it! We heard what sounded like an explosion and ran outside to find the driver start to drive away. My brothers and Aaron chased him down, in their holiday socks and reindeer antlers, and caught him before the police arrived. He was arrested for driving under the influence but not charged with a hit and run. The police didn't think the situation qualified for a hit and run since he never actually got away. He would have though if it weren't for the 6 holiday men hunting him down though!
The damage doesn't really show up in the photos, but it was pretty bad. He even hit the car so hard that it threw it up on to the curb, and pieces of the siding were strewn up and down the street.
Way to put a real damper on the night


We're just glad that no one got hurt, including the two little kids in the drunk driver's mini van!
Regardless we had a great night as you can see..

THat party looked like fun and the food looks yummo! Sorry about the car, will he get a new one or will they just fix up this one?

I see what looks like a broken tie rod end or something behind the tire in that one picture, that's such a bummer!

My favorite part of the group shot in front of the crashed car is not-so-tiny Aaron holding the oh-so-tiny cow dog.
