I had a productive day yesterday. It started in the morning when my friend Shelley (she's also my visiting teaching companion) and I hosted a brunch for the ladies that we visit teach at my home. We served waffles with strawberries and raspberry sauces, whipped cream, fruit, syrup and bacon, and sent them home with a box of chocolates. It was so yummy!
We had a nice visit but missed the one lady who was unable to come as her son was sick.
After they left Shelley and I got to work dipping chocolates. Mom had been up earlier in the week and had made some fondant for me. I hadn't felt well for a couple of days and hadn't had time to do it yet. Such a huge help to me. We had fun working together and getting the fondant dipped. Our dipping is improving and we are getting much faster.
Now the rest of my weekend I'll get ready for my student recital on Sunday. Once that is done then I can focus on getting the last few things done for Christmas. Most of my shopping is completed, but I want to do some baking next week. This year Christmas sure sneaked up on me. I'm trying not to stress about it though and enjoy the season. I'd also like to have a little get together with some friends - but we'll see. Maybe we will wait until the New Year! How are your preparations going?
You are the best person I know at doing brunch and lunch parties. I know your recital will be awesome too. You always go the extra mile and do such fun things. Good luck with it all.
