Hosted our first Christmas dinner as an engaged couple! Also our most successful Christmas dinner to date! Spent 8+ hours preparing this dinner for 35 of our family and loved ones! Seeing everyone's faces light up when they take their first few bites...and then hurrying back for seconds and third portions, totally worth it all the stress and exhaustion. Shout outs to my future husband for helping me with this dinner, couldn't do it without you! Thank you for keeping me keeping on. 'Tis the season for giving back to all our loved ones (with delicious foods)!
