10th Annual Secret Santa

WOW, we have been so busy over these past few weeks with Holiday related activities. However, it just wouldn't be Christmas without having a get together with friends.

For the past 10 years a group of us 'ol high school friends have been gathering for Secret Santa which we ALL look forward to every year. Not only do we gather and exchange gifts we all bring tons of food which always includes all kinds of scrumptious baked goods. This year we had everything from homemade mints to chocolate meringue pie to sausage stars to cheese straws to homemade salsa. I received the most adorable apron (Thanks Taylor) that just makes me die to bake so I can wear it. It seriously is THAT CUTE!

This year we added something new to the mix...English Christmas Crackers. Amy's husband, Owen, who's from England taught us that this is a tradition in the UK. They were so much fun! Each one held a little practical gift, a joke & a crown.

The 5 of us (Heather, Amy, Rachel, Taylor & me) with our crowns.

And just for fun... here we are at a Secret Santa a few years back!
