It’s been such a relaxing day celebrating with our family! Kids slept until 8am (thank goodness!) and were awesome at taking turns opening presents. We kicked off the morning by singing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus and the first presents opened were wrapped in birthday wrapping paper. Love celebrating the biggest birthday party!
Now, in the midst of dinner preparation, Vince has put together a delicious cocktail! It’s perfect for the holidays and kicking off the new year. I’ll also include a cocktail he put together for Christmas Eve. For the first time in a while, I surprised Vince with his Christmas present… a hardback book featuring all HIS cocktail recipes over the past year! I’ll be sure to share it with you soon and will be taking orders too if you want one, LOL.
