Good morning and Merry Christmas!
I always wondered what it would be like to wake up Christmas morning with a tree and presents underneath waiting for me.
The closest I ever came to the joy of a Christmas morning as a kid occurred when Hanukkah would overlap and I was able to convince my parents to leave my Hanukkah gift out in the middle of the night so that I could experience waking up to open it.
Ahhh, the Barbie Dream Kitchen. How could I ever forget it?
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful holiday and eat lots of delicious goodies including cookies, cakes, pies and who knows what else.
Wait. Cinnamon Rolls. Please have a cinnamon roll. I keep seeing recipes for Christmas breakfast and this Cinnamon Roll Cake looks absolutely divine.
If you are wondering what I will be doing, my day will consist of running, baking and hopefully Chinese Food.
Notice I didn’t say movies? The little boy is having a friend over so I thought it would be more fun to bake sugar cookies and get all fa-la-la about it and decorate them.
I bought this new snowman cookie cutter and have a ton of toppings and chocolate chips to choose from.
Welcome to my baking supply cabinet. Quite the organized mess, yes?
Let’s zoom in on the chocolate chips:
See what I mean? There are even more bags in the back.
Chunks, chips, mini, semi-sweet, dark….so many bags of so many varieties that I don’t even know what to do with them.
I think I just might have the best problem in the world.
Oooooooh. Yummy. I went to the Mazel Ball last night (an annual Christmas Eve party that’s held for young Jewish professionals). And today? Well, rather than brave the crowds at the movies, I think I’ll stay at home with my kitten. I know. I lead such an exciting life.
Mazel Ball – I love when events are named so cute like this!
Happy Holidays! 🙂
