Christmas Potluck

Our annual Christmas potluck was hosted by Jane this year and we all enjoyed her warm hospitality. But before I write about our potluck, let’s talk a look back over the past few months and the projects everyone was involved in.


This is going to be photo-heavy, so be prepared! Well, wouldn't you know it?? My photos loaded backwards so we're starting with December!
