Christmas Home Tours

Do to having work done on the house this month we are not doing much but We do have a few things up. Hope you enjoy.

Nativity set at night.


Can you find the cat three quarters up the Tree?


Camera Phones don't make for the best pictures but one of my Daughter's has the digital.


Nativity set in day time. As if you couldn't tell.


Sorry I don't have any cookies left as my Hubby and children ate all of them. But, I do have my recipe for you.

Drop Cookies

1 cup soft butter
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups flour
2 eggs

Preheat Oven to 375.
lightly grease baking sheets.
In large bowl, beat butter, sugars, vanilla with mixer until fluffy.
Beat in eggs, baking soda and salt until combined.
Add flour and beat on low speed until blended.
Drop by rounded tablespoons about 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 8 to 9 minutes until edges brown.
Cool on sheets 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

You can change the flavor by adding any of these things to the same mix.

1. 1 cup of favorite nuts
2. 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
3. 1/2 cup finely chopped peppermint candy
4. 1 cup of chocolate chips
5. Anything else you think of that you would like in your
cookies.


Don't need much to enjoy the season of Christmas. "Jesus Is The Reason For the Season", let us not forget what He has done for us.

How funny that your cat is in the tree! I think ours would do that if we let them in but they are outside. The cookies sound good, thanks for the tour!
