4th Annual Moskowitz Red River Rivalry - TX-36 vs OU-20

HOOK 'EM HORNS!  It's been a few years since I've been able to say that after a Texas WIN, but it sure feels good!!!

Austin & I hosted our 4th Annual Moskowitz Red River Rivalry / House Divided Party.  As usual, we went shopping around 6 PM on Friday night and worked until midnight getting everything ready for the next day.  Austin's menu consisted of meatballs, pulled pork, spinach artichoke dip and queso.  I setup the decorations, dishes and even helped in the kitchen.  We also had another little helper...Caleb!  He was my sous chef when it was time to make our infamous jello shots: Dreamsicles, Strawberry Daiquiri and Margarita.  These babies were the usual....STOUT!

Caleb even made kid jello shots.  We were very careful to make sure there was a :) on the lid!

My rice krispie footballs.  I was pretty proud of myself!

The food is probably what most people come for, but we enjoy the friendships.  It seems like every year there is a different mix of people...and these people are usually 2 degrees of separation!  Even though it's difficult to mingle with everyone, it's worth it to get a few minutes in as we can.  The crazy part about this year's party were the kids....I'm pretty sure we were outnumbered at one point.  It was great having our best friends come from 6 doors down as well as all the way from The Woodlands just to celebrate with us.

The Group Photo! We missed a few people, but tried to get as many as we could.

The party started at 11 (kickoff) and luckily no one showed up until around noon :)  We had a soccer game that morning and pretty much showed up at our own doorstep at 10:50.  Our friends arrived and jello shots were passed out.  It was almost a 'tradition' to pass out jello shots every time a new guest arrived.  Needless to say, we went through quite a few!  We watched the Longhorns to a 36-20 victory over the Sooners - ate Austin's delicious food - played darts and corn hole - and the kids rode on scooters and played with Nerf guns.  OH!  They even crawled through the sewer to get a football!

They may be divided by color, but these two brothers love each other!

Friends! Jude, Caleb, Keira, Tegan

The Boys! Brendan, Curtis, Caleb, Austin, Jacob

I am so thankful for this annual tradition.  It creates wonderful memories for us and it's all because of our wonderful friends.  We love you all and look forward to next year!  HOOK 'EM HORNS!
