Foodies unite (3) for our Christmas dinner and BOY, it was an amazing feast!!! We were in the presence of World renown chefs that cooked and created spectacular dishes for our dinner tonight.

One of my resolutions last year was to step out of my comfort zone, allow things to flow naturally without trying to be the control freak that I am and I am glad I did. Meeting these wonderful new friends and getting to know them is truly a great blessing.
2011 was a year of trials and enormous blessings. The Lord is truly amazing. Ending the year with family, friends, good health and superb food…… gives me a heart that is overflowing with joy and contentment.
Claiming that 2012 will be even more amazing for us all! 😀
