~Merry Christmas and Simple & Sweet Fridays #147~

Our family and our sweet Lab, Maggie would love to wish everyone, 

"A Merry Christmas". 

It will be a very special Christmas with 

our kids home. 

We've been busy cooking lots of Christmas goodies.

Sugar cookies with

lots of sprinkles!!

My favorite cookies are thumbprints.

My mother would make them every year.

So now it's our tradition to make them too!

Carly and Katie made peppermint bark.

Wrapped up in clear bags with red skate ornaments make a delicious gift for friends and family.

I made Christmas tags. 

Love the Santa Claus stamp I found.

Our Christmas tree this year.

Red and White wrapping paper with garland 

added for a festive look!!

Red and White mushroom salt and pepper shakers.

Red and White mushroom measuring spoons.

I bought some chocolate cookie mushrooms from World Market. 

I added some red fondant on the mushroom caps.

 White sprinkles on top.

A perfect addition to a delicious star brownie.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!!

Enjoy this special holiday with your family and friends!!

Can't wait to see your holiday creativity!!

~Christmas Treats and Simple & Sweet Fridays #144~

The girls and I have been baking some goodies for Christmas.

~Pinecone Treats~

Made with peanut butter, pretzels and Fiber One chocolate cereal.

Easy to make with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

We made some stamped sugar cookies.

We're getting started on baking our annual Christmas cookies.

I had to make some Paris sugar cookies too!

A little Paris Christmas treat.

We also made peppermint candy plates.

We melted some peppermint candies in the oven.

I lined some parchment paper in a bowl,

so after it cools it's easy to remove.

It would be a pretty Christmas gift for a special teacher, 

friend or neighbor.

With a delicious cupcake on top!

It finally rained in San Diego,

We needed the water!

How are you doing with sending out your Christmas cards?

I just starting mine.

Looking forward to seeing all your wonderful Christmas holiday projects this week.
