He's a Master!

Garrett passed his Master's defense with flying colours, and we helped him celebrate last night with a BBQ at my place. First, I made Garrett let me take a picture of him fresh out of his defense:Later, once he was changed and rested, we met up with our friends at Avenue pizza and had some beer, then headed over to my place for drinks and dinner. We made a great meal of corn-on-the-cob, baked potatoes, steaks and salad, despite the damper the rainy weather threw on our BBQ plans. We just ate dinner inside.

Here's Garrett with a mini-keg of German beer - a great gift from Ian and Joelle:Speaking of Ian and Joelle, here they are:Soon, though, the tequila shots started! We bought at 26 of Jose for Garrett, which he readily shared with whomever wanted some. Garrett and Bindi started things off:Here's a large group of us having some tequila!Bindi and Ian, goofing around in the kitchen:More tequila:After dinner we decided the weather wasn't so bad that we couldn't go outside and start a fire up. So, that's what we did! Here are a ton of random, around-the-fire pictures for you to enjoy:

We didn't party too late - everyone was probably gone by midnight. But it was fun and we properly celebrated Garrett's completion of his defense. Now, he's on to bigger and better things!
