The Rest of the Weekend

Special thanks to my sweet sister-in-law, Trista for the poinsettia. I love it's addition to my holiday decorations; you are so kind and thoughtful!

Here's what we've been doing! We got the tree up...Cole did all the ornaments . He did a pretty good job, too! Except he missed one box, so I did that one later. It looks sweet and cozy! I want to get the boys ornaments in their stockings this year. I saw the musical ones at Hallmark...they sing Hippopotamus for Christmas and the Chicken Dance. I'd have to think of a third one for Cole though. They also have a Bad to the Bone...maybe that would work!

I made these Peanut Butter Cup Cookies tonight (recipe is from the current Taste of Home issue, I'll post it if anyone wants it). Why? I love chocolate and peanut butter. I'm anxious to get started on my holiday baking. Why not?! Haven't tasted them yet, but they look yummy!

Happy Holiday Season!

Trista - yes, I do. I'm eating my fair share, but I have quite a few in the freezer ;)

You are just taunting me with all of your delicious recipes for chocolate and peanut butter stuff! ;) Haha! It's always been my favorite combination too. Makes me miss it when I see such a scrumptious looking picture!

I think I'm 'used to it' and then I see a good recipe and I get a little lonesome again. ;) Luckily, it passes quickly.

Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving!

ALL of my Christmas baking is with chocolate and peanutbutter- With maybe an exception of chocolate crinkles. I am making basically the same cookies you did, but I am using snickers instead of pb cups. So good!
