On Saturday we had a bunch of our friends over for a simple Christmas party. I am actually quite surprised how many of us stayed close to Riverside. Many were from the general area originally, and others married people from the area. Then there is the small handful of us that still work at CBU. Hey, a job is a job, and if you like what you do, it makes it worth your while.
We were so excited when friends made the trip from quite a distance just to say Merry Christmas. Justin and Megan came up from Murrieta, and Colin and Ashley came all the way from Sherman Oaks. Rachel and Scott brought Brendan for everyone to meet and he smiled at everyone. Any we got and appearance from little Wyatt Holmes. Proud parents Elly and Jason brought the little one out so we could see him bright eyed and chubby cheeks. He is growing so fast and I just love his red hair! Some were sick and some had to work at the last minute, and we missed them all. We are so blessed with so many friends so close.
I made some sweet treats to snack on. I have been making cookies since November and took the time to frost them and sprinkle sugar, making most everything from scratch. But what did everyone rant and rave about. The only cookie made from a mix covered in canned frosting. So much for slaving over the over for 6 weeks – from here on out everything will be semi-homemade. It’s fine. The other cookies were eaten and complimented. I’m sure my brother will eat the leftovers when he gets here.
