Isn't December the best???

My friend Janet and I decorated cookies today. So fun! She is a pro... but she won't admit it.
These are my cookies and I forgot to take pictures of hers before she left with them! Janet, send me pictures so I can post them!

Come have one! They are so tasty!!!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving today. The kids tried everything which is a new treat for us! The centerpiece is two cake plates stacked one on top of the other. On the top one is the linen roll holder that Kris got us while in Czechoslovakia. I put tangerines in the middle, rolls around the outside and tangerines at the bottom of the cake stand. The berry wreath around the outside is sitting on the edge of the bottom glass cake plate.

We sat the camera on the stairs and took a family photo. LOL! WE weren't sure when it would go off and you can tell by the looks on our faces.

One word.... YUM! A chocolate macadamia tart (from Martha Stewart). TotallyWTC (worth the calories). It is basically a chocolate shortbread crust, homemade caramel (I didn't use the recipe's caramel... but went with MS's caramel apple caramel instead), toasted macadamia nuts, and ganache.Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Shabby trees! Yeah! Santa can come now! OK... so I'm a little early, but I want to enjoy these trees as long as possible.
