The Best Friends and Christmas Tradition

I truly have the best group of friends I could ever imagine. My good friend Lydia started this tradition a few years ago where we go to her house for a fancy little dinner and she treats us to a fabulous meal, wonderful hospitality and always lots of fun and laughter. I am so blessed to be a part of this group!

Here we are at the party last night. It was misting and 24 degrees outside, so the fact that we were still able to be together was even more wonderful to me. (Let me take this moment to say a BIG Thank You to my Jesus for keeping me safe traveling to and from the party!)

Thanks to Marci for lending me this photo and for such a sweet "shout out" about my cheesecakes! I made a pumpkin cheesecake and a turtle cheesecake to share. I enjoy cooking and baking so much and it thrills my heart to be able to share it with people. I'm so glad it was enjoyed by my friends.

Thank you, Lydia, for making the special effort to get us all together each year. We all appreciate you so much and cherish this tradition!

It is such a blessing to know that even though I moved away, I'm still close enough to be a part of these women's lives and I feel so special to still be included.

Good friends are hard to find and truly a blessing from the Lord. I love you all!!
