Much belated Christmas post

(Sorry this is so late...my camera hasn't been cooperating!)
Here the food spread from our Christmas party:



I think there were about 5 different kinds of cookies, peanut brittle, chocolate covered pretzels, chips and dip, chips and salsa...I *may* have gone a little overboard, but I'm in love with the new mixer.

I don't remember if I posted or not, but I made Kris Kringle cookies for the party and they were really good!

I also made some peanut butter/snickers cookies before we left town, but I can't seem to find the recipe. I'll keep looking!

Also, here's our tree (you know, the one that set off the house alarm...twice?):


You might also notice my Christmas craft across the window there. I made a little snowstorm for the window. Jeff thought I was nuts, but I kind of liked how it would flutter when the heat kicked on. Maybe I just have too much free time on my hands ;)

My peaceful morning...

I like this snow fall on Mondays thing we've got going on. Just enough to make it pretty...not slick.



I finally have the decorations up and the living room is mostly clean. I might add some little red garland to the fireplace...we'll see. Doesn't it look so cozy though? :)
