Riverside Christmas

So as soon as I left my work Christmas party on Wednesday night, I was sick sick sick. The doc said I had a virus and just had to wait it out. Let me tell you I was in bed for three days straight. On Sunday I dragged myself up to celebrate Christmas with my family in Riverside and it was worth every tired minute. We started off with breakfast at Coco's where we met up with the Steele's and a great friend of mine from high school, Sirisha. She is in med school in Omaha so I don't see her very much. I loved just chatting and being back in our old hangout. After that we headed back to the Steele's where I gave little Charlotte her present. She looked so cute in it! Off we went over to Grandma's house. Nothing makes you happier than the familiar sights and smells of your Grandma's house. She pulled out all the stops with our favorite foods, Christmas music and wine. We always need wine while cooking with Grandma. :) My Aunt Kathy and Aunt Margie were also there so we had a night full of love and laughter. We missed my parents so much but next year Christmas will be amazing because we will all be together again. The best part of the night was when my Grandma gave me her "Big Hug Mug" which I have wanted for years. It now proudly sits on my shelf. xoxo C&A
