Christmas party and Taco and Burrito night!!!

Ok I'm trying to find out what would work better for everyone as far as what day we should do the get together on. Either the 11th or the 18th. I'm also going to have a small get together here on New Years Eve too. I don't wanna be out driving with all the crazy drunks so I figured I would bring the party to us. lol So Everjust let me know which day would work best. Also we are going to do a taco and burrito night on whichever night we decide to do it on so bring stuff to make tacos and burritos. Hope everyone can make it.

The food sounds wonderful.

What would you like us to bring?

Ok so this is what I have come up with so far!

We are going to do the party on the 11th of December at 7. If you need directions send me a pm and I'll send you the info. Anyone is welcome to come just no drama. If you would like to drink that is fine...but drink responsibly. I hae a 2 yr old and I know other ppl will have kids there so I don't want anything to get out of hand. No that that is said and out of the way....We are doing this as a taco/burrito/mexican food/any food you wanna bring party!! lol All i ask is everyone bring enough meat(cooked or uncooked, we can cook it here) to feed your family then if you would bring something else like cheese, sour cream, drinks, salsa...you get the point. We will probally also hae a fire so if anyone wants smores bring those items with you too.

We are also going to be doing a gift exchange. Anyone that would like to choose a gift must bring a gift (wrapped) once everyone has arrived then whoever brought a gift may pick one. They can be gag gifts, or nice gifts, food, candy but lets try to keep it around $5. That way no one goes over board. I will also be doing something small for the kids too as far as gifts go. I really hope everyone can make it out. It should be a lot of fun like all the other get togethers we have had.

I was also thinking to that maybe we could do a collection of stuff like old blankets, chew toys, dog or cat food and maybe donate it to a local animal shelter. I know with the holidays there is soo much going on and we hae other things on our mind, but If anyone is cleaning out your closets to make room for new stuff this christmas and happen to find stuff that they might be able to use I'm sure they would appriciate it alot. I could even do it as a donation from the forum to kinda get the name out there and maybe draw in more people to the forum. Just let me know what you think.

So I'm going to have some tortillas, sour cream, salsa, and I think I may make a mexican lasagna. I may have a few other things but I'm going to try to have a little bit of everything. But feel free to bring anything you want. Oh I think I also have mexican rice too.

What's a Mexican lasagna? I'm intrigued.

you'll just have to wait and see lol...

LOL Okay


I'm not sure exactly what to make yet. I was thinking I'd make up a fajita steak and chicken mix or a big batch of seasoned ground beef for taco fillings.

Who else is planning to come out and are you bringing anything?

I plan to come to the party, and I am bringing Devin. Does that count as a dish? Lol.

I will try to think of some food or candy to bring. Maybe some drinks? Dessert is ever so important...

I'm trying to badger Eric into showing up as well. Maybe we need to start picking people up for these events...aka kidnapping.

P.S. If we're having tacos I guess we will need sour cream, shredded cheese, olives, etc.

No Devin doesn't count as a dish. lol. I'm sure he could eat a whole dish though, the way guys eat! Drinks sound good. And yes we will need sourr cream, cheese, ect. I will have some but not sure how much depending on what it takes to make my mexican lasagna lol.

Well I hope Eric and everyone else can make it. I love the get togethers we have had so far and I hope that we will have many more to come.

Tomatoes. Don't forget the tomatoes.

I will try to bring a few drinks and some things like olives and shredded cheese. We'll still need salsa and sour cream...I can get these things but only one each cause it's bound to cost a lot all together, lol. Sure it wouldn't be bad if other people brought some toppings too.

I can run to Food City once I'm there if we find that we lack something. It's not a problem at all.

We should have a drunken trip to Food City...and by drunken I mean on sprite. Lol!

Drew and them are coming and said to let them know what to bring that someone else isn't. He's already bringing tortilla wraps, and some sort of meat, and probally into chips.

Our friend Chris is probally coming to and said he will grab some drinks and some queso dip.

What kind of meat is Drew going to bring? I don't want to bring the same thing. lol

not sure, I'll find out

Well, I believe we'll be bringing a big batch of seasoned ground beef filling. I'm not sure if I'll do fajitas along with that or not. Probably bring along diced tomato and shredded lettuce as well unless someone else was planning to bring that.

Well were going to try to come. I sent a pm for the info a few minutes ago. We both work today but we get off at 5pm. I will brown some meat for tacos/burritoes. We love mexican food! This sounds like fun. My kids are with me so along with Lee they will be coming. I know animals and food don't mix but is anyone bringing there animals? Lee was asking me.

I think a few will probably be bringing some animals out. I'm not sure if I'm going to or not. I'm waiting for Brian to get back home so I can get everyone headed towards Maryville. I had hoped to be there already. lol

Well if anyone else needs directions call me at 982-0930! I don't want anyone to miss out cause they couldn't get ahold of us!!! Everyone can head this way if they would like!!

Had a lot of fun! Thanks for hosting again, Rob and Gina! The decorations and food were great.
