Christmas 2011

My most favorite time of year, Christmas, has come and gone once again.  It was a nice quiet time with lots of tasty goodies, visits with family and friends, and a big beautiful tree!  Treats, visits, and the tree are my favorite parts of Christmas!
These are the treats my mom, sister, and I baked together to share with our neighbors.  We made two types of brittle (peanut and cashew), Russian tea cakes, frosted sugar cookies, fudge, and a chocolate chewy bar.  All were quite yummy.  The cinnamon rolls I made for my family's Christmas breakfast were also wonderful!
This was our tree this holiday season.  It was around 12 feet tall and once in the stand with an angel on top it was near 13 feet.  We love big trees!  This one was a beauty as usual.  We kept the decorating quite simple and pretty this year by decorating it with multi colored lights, a red beaded garland, a silver garland, and old fashioned shiny ball ornaments. We sure enjoyed it!

I got several wonderful gifts this Christmas, and my favorite are:
Victoria Secret eye makeup
Taste of Home cookbook
Betty Crocker cookbook
Jewelry from Brian
Shower head for my apartment shower
and Being with my family!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
