More Sweet Goodness

I'm still baking like a crazy lady. After cooking for two days straight before getting our families packages off, I took one night off in the kitchen. Today, I got back to it and made some GOOD stuff... Key Lime Cookies, Ginger-Molasses Cookies and Eggnog Coffee Cake. We're going to visit someone very special tomorrow in San Antonio. He happens to LOOOOOVE sweets, so I've packages it all up to bring to him. Except the coffee cake, its in the fridge overnight and I'm going to bake it tomorrow morning before we go.

We finally have something on top of our tree! We don't have ornaments on our tree, never have. Always just a plain tree with lots of lights. I don't know why, but we like it that way.

Now I'm settling in on the couch with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a blanket to watch my MOST FAVORITE Christmas movie of all time. I found it on Showtime, and even though I have the dvd somewhere in the house, it's an exciting treat to have it on tv. I watched this movie almost constantly during a really rough Christmas season a few years back, and for whatever reason it was uplifting and comforting. Joseph has watched it dozens of times with me, something he would deny if confronted. After not watching it since last December, I'm giddy to see my old on screen friends again. Hugh Grant, Awesome music, a sweet story, good laughs... a standout movie in my humble opinion.
