Annual Christmas Party...

Well, that time of year has come again for the Annual Briggs Christmas Party although this year it has been altered somewhat due to our living in an apartment.

This year, Rosario Cortes, a member of our church, has graciously opened up her home for us to host the Christmas party there. Joshua is of course creating culinary concoctions for the event such as Hawaiian meatballs, a Salmon appetizer, homemade fudge, etc.

We really will miss hosting the Christmas party for our friends and family in Virginia. Hopefully, next year, we will be in a house where we can begin again hosting our Annual Christmas Party.

We hope everyone is doing well and we are looking forward to seeing friends and family in about 1.5 weeks.

May the Lord bless you and keep you wholly in Him!

Contradancing!

Last Friday, we went to a contradance outside of Lincoln (yes there is a Lincoln in California) with Janice. It was Joshua's first time, and I don't think he knew what to expect. I used to go contradancing in Bluemont, VA years ago, and although the caller wasn't the best, it was great hanging out with Janice. We spent about 10 minutes trying to get a decent picture of the three of us, and this was one of the best (primary because I blink when the the picture is snapped). Anyway, we had a good time, and it brought back memories of contradancing in a country town with friends. See, Janice, I posted first!
