Christmas morning

We spent Christmas morning at my daughter's

We had a lovely brunch

and got to see the girls open their presents.

Shortbread

I think I found this recipe in Taste of the South.

It is so simple with just 3 ingredients.

I made 2 batches today so have a tin full to take to a friend.

Shortbread

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F

Cream together until light and fluffy

1 cup softened butter

and 1/2 cup sugar

Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.

Pat into a 13 x 9 inch pan.

Bake 30-40 minutes until lightly browned.

Remove from oven.

Prick with a fork in a zigzag pattern to allow steam to escape.

Allow to cool then cut. 

(I love the tins with the clear tops, I just got 2 but maybe I can find more of them).

Christmas

I love Christmas

Through the years I have collected so many Christmas items.

This is my big tree in the living room that has ornaments of all colors. 

I had to adjust the lights a bit after taking this pic :)

Some of my Coca Cola ornaments.

Opps, got too much of the cords in this pic. 

Thanksgiving

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We had a houseful of people. 

My sister was here. She has 2 more chemo treatments and then the chemo is done.

My granddaughter and great-nieces spent the night. 

Now I am decorating for Christmas. 

Tea to wash down the turkey :)
