The 3 cookies in front are my family’s look-alikes. From the left is me (in my apron), then Jake (with his collar on), and lastly Dan (with his beard).
Since you have to have dinner rolls, I cheated and bought them from the bakery. They were still homemade – just not by me. The rest of the Christmas Eve dinner came out lovely. Dan’s sister enjoyed the veggie dishes I made up and Dan’s SIL isn’t nearly as picky as my own sister!
The giving of Christmas presents was so much fun. Aunt Bette loved her Marjorie Mohair Stole. My sister plans to hang her Chili Pepper Quilt in her kitchen. Dan was thrilled to have a copy of Muppet Family Christmas, a movie they grew up watching every Christmas. What did Dan get me?
I tried it out last night with some chicken curry over top of it. The rice was delicious. No more Minute Rice for me. No, Sir! I’m converted.
Plus, Dan got me some chocolate, since my supply was running low. He’s so well trained now. It only took me 7 years to get him this way.

You’re gingerbread men look fantastic! They’re so professional looking – I’m so jealous! I wish I could make them – I’m just not that steady with the icing bag!
Happy holidays and so glad you’ve had chance to rest after all that baking!

Rice cookers are great, we use ours all the time.
Those cookies are so cute. I don’t have the patience to decorate lots of little food items!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
I love the cookie of Jake.
Also, have you ever tried Sister Schubert Rolls? They’re made in Alabama. They are oh so delicious!!
