WINE!
I kid..I kid.
Well, maybe not. LOL!
Check out these cute wine charms my MIL got me last Christmas. So fun to use them this year!
My weekend started with a friend's birthday get together then hanging at the house and baking!
As I mentioned last week - I made Granny Lillard's lace cookies. Yummy indeed and pretty easy too! A little oatmeal, butter, sugar, flour, vanilla and milk and WAH-LAH!
I decided to drizzle chocolate on them using a squeeze bottle but had a little problem when the top came off on one cookie.
I proceeded to get my sh-t together after that and they turned out perfect.
Budster was in heaven this weekend waiting for scraps of anything to hit the floor. His jingle bell neckware about drove Brad over the edge though! It's all about being festive!
Then time for my cookie and ornament exchange on Sunday. Of course being the host I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked.
This was different but good. Chocolate chip cheese ball served with graham crackers.
I made apple walnut gorgonzola turnovers.
Along with poppy seed ham sammys, quiche, some other munchies served with mulled cider, wine, champagne, etc.
Friends..Terrible picture. Bad hair day, bad light, bad overall. Can't believe I posted.
Blurry. My camera has been acting weird. I think it's time for a new one.
Monster cookies.
Some sort of butter cream cookie. Delish!
We had tons and tons of cookies!
Toffee on graham crackers. Simple but YUMMY!
Oreo balls made with peppermint Joe Joe's from T. Joes
Always a fun time hanging with the ladies. This is the 3rd year for my cookie exchange and even though the group was a tad bit smaller this year it was a blast!
Brad is always a big help too. He helped make food and even got Buddy out of the house this year.
Ornament exchange.
I forgot to take a picture of the one I picked. Wait until you see it. Fits me perfect.
As does this ornament for my co-worker Ms. Von!
Only 10-days until we leave for the Bahamas! Until then -- time to wrap gifts, watch what I eat and workout.
I can't believe I have to get into a swimsuit in 10-days! YIKES!
How was your weekend?

Ooooooh I love graham cracker toffee!!! I might need to look up a recipe for that. I haven't had it in years.
A swimsuit in 10 days?? Don't freak out! Enjoy the sun...I would love a trip to the Bahamas right about now...
Cookie exchange looked fabulous! Can't wait to see your ornament!
You know what, we usually get together and decorate cookies with the ladies in my family. This year we decided just to exchange them and drink wine instead!
Looks like a blast and so yummy!
Bahamas...yay! We did New Years there one year. The weather was nice but too cold to get in the water. Unless you have a heated pool...that would perfect!
Your cookies look awesome. Yum!
Bahamas - umm just a lil jealous over here!
I want a cookie now, thanks :)
Looks like a fun event and what a cute idea!
Can't wait to see what you got!
And a swimsuit... NO thank you but have a BLAST!
Looks so fun!!
Everytime the All I Want for Christmas Is a Real Good Tan song comes on from my Kenny Chesney Christmas cd I think of you and your family!!!
Looks like lots of fun Dee!!
You gave me some great ideas for the cookie exchange I'm hosting on Thursday! Also, my beagle baby has that same jingle bell collar. She hates it, and hangs her head and tries not to move when I put it on her-it's so funny.
Have so much fun in the Bahamas!
You just made me REAL hungry! All the cookies look so good!
Didn't make it to Hard Rock... too far off the strip. Next time for sure though!
The post made me hungry too!! I laughed when I saw your lace cookie sqeeze bottle had an issue, but do you know what? That's the cookie I would have siped :) all of that cocolate!
What a lovely get together. I've had the chocolate chip cheese ball w/graham crackers before at a party, and it was a great success. No doubt you girls had a smashing time!
ok, it looks like it was a huge success and those apple walnut Gorgonzola turnovers? oh my! i need one or two in my belly now!
your cookies are so pretty!!!!!!!!
Those monster cookies look GOOD!! And so does the graham cracker toffee...yummy!
Looks like a fun party! I wondered about Buddy's jingle bell collar. Trey would have ripped it off after the first day...fo sho! :)
Looks like you all had a great time! Maybe I should add an ornament exchange to my party as well ~ thanks for the idea.
Jo
