Hello and welcome to another December weekend. This one is a milestone for us because somebody turns two today. It’s hard to believe — how did time fly? We’ll celebrate with a party now and do something special on his actual birthday Sunday. Expect tears of joy and lots of hugs.

Looking for a festive holiday drink? Try Vanilla Ginger Cranberry Margaritas for a bright, seasonal cocktail. If you’d prefer something to share, White Christmas Margarita Punch is a great option. And of course, a nice glass of wine never hurts this time of year.
