It was great to see so many friends and acquaintances at our breakfast on Tuesday! Santa was busy having his picture made while my awesome staff kept the party going. Sandy Merryman, Tonya Grant and the other elves did a great job planning and decorating. If you didn’t make it, hopefully you will next year!
