This past weekend was packed full like Santa’s bag on take off Christmas Eve night. Most of the week for Jenny and I was preparation for our first annual staff Christmas party. Jenny rocked the hors’devours (like that word is spellable). I think the coconut macaroons were the big hit. It was fun having everyone play [ READ MORE ]
