The countdown is upon us and all the Christmas preparations and lead up to the actual holiday are winding down. I am getting excited to see family and especially my sweet granddaughter. All the presents are wrapped and shipped, the food shopping lists are prepared for when arrive and our plans for Christmas week in Michigan are set. It will be hectic as always, but so much fun too.
There have been festive breakfasts, lunches, cocktail parties and dinners with friends to get us in the holiday spirit. It is always a different feeling in Florida, but no less festive with palm trees decked with lights and Christmas parades both on land and by boat.
I tried a new recipe this morning, thinking a could recreate one of my favorite cookies my Mom used to make, but they were not a success. Ginger Molasses cookies that should have been chewy, were dry and crumbly. I have a lot of my Mom’s recipes, but couldn’t find that one, so I will keep trying.
And, I will leave you with the cutest snow bunny with pink mittens. My daughter lives in an area of Michigan that is known for lake effect snow and they have already had a bunch. Audrey will have so much fun growing up there.
Happy Wednesday and one week until Christmas!
Fun photos of Christmastime in Florida. Here in Nebraska we have no snow and it's supposed to be 53 on Christmas! It was only 30 today though so it felt like the holidays. Hubby and I are alone for Christmas so no big celebration here. Our kids are all at in-laws and that's as it should be. No hard feelings here. Maybe we'll fly to London as a surprise to see our grandchild there! :-)
