| a phenomenal Jr. High concert, complete with actual CHRISTmas songs! |
 |
| a dish my family enjoyed. thank you Paula Deen for making me look good. ps- I always add a little more spice than most recipes call for. my family detests bland food! here i added red pepper flakes to the filling and sprinkled the top with a bit of paprika. |
 |
| i'm still getting up at the crack of dawn (5:10am) and going to my tri-metrics class. it has gotten easier, but is still a tough, tough workout! chicken divan is not on the workout food menu...that was strictly comfort food for the kids; though i did have a taste. |
 |
| i baked and baked and baked...and had many "little" tastes. |
 |
| book group was at my house this month. we read a simple book called, the other wise man. the read was okay, but getting together, visiting with my friends, & playing a gifted book exchange game was a good time! |
 |
| gave a little christmas lesson in sunday school. .. such a joyful time of the year to rejoice in the savior! |
 |
| DeCorAted! |
 |
| i'm enjoying my fake tree. |

Beautiful holiday happenings! The treats look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYour house always looks so fab! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour house looks beautiful. My mouth was watering looking at your caramel apples. You inspire me with all that you do.
ReplyDeleteI saw the last picture of your cute grand-kids and got so excited for you...YAY!
Merry Christmas.
Yayyyy for the grandkids!!!
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so beautiful and all ready for Christmas.
My mouth was watering over all of your yummy caramel-ly treats - I think I licked my computer screen! Yum
Your babies are there - yay!!
ReplyDeleteI have gotten used to having tastes and finding I can actually live that way - for most things that is. Who woulda thunk it?
Christmas concerts with actual Christmas songs - another yay. I've noticed that everywhere I've been lately, clerks and people are saying Merry Christmas, not happy holidays. I think a lot of people are tired of people telling them they can't say those words.
Yay for the grandkids showing up. How fun.
ReplyDeleteI've made about 4 batches of the candy cane cookies. But have only given out about a dozen. Why? My kids will not stop swiping them and eating them when I turn my back.
Gorgeous photos... Christmas is such a joyful season in so many ways...
ReplyDeleteI am dieting this year too---so am not eating all of the GOOD fattening food... Darn!!!!! ha
Merry Christmas.
Hugs,

I heard your lesson was awesome. Book group was fun as always. Your grand kids are adorable. That will be so fun to have them there for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks fabulous, and I envy the book club. I LOVE books, and WOW look at all those goodies. Self control would not have been easy for me.
ReplyDeleteWe're you expecting those cuties? Are they staying all through Christmas? That will be fun.
