Good morning! It's the time of year for pretty sunrises as seen out our front window. This one was prettier just before I went to get my phone to take the picture, but I appreciated it anyway.
Honest neighborhood view - it was trash day!
The sort-of-secret Christmas project is all finished and ready to be gifted at this afternoon's get together. We do one of those crazy gift exchanges where there is stealing allowed, and it's always hilarious! Plus you never quite know what you will end up coming home with.
This is the Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher from The Crafty Quilter.
I decided it needed a cookie plate to go with!
It's a bonus week for my group get togethers because my book club met, too. We always try to choose a book for December that is an easy read because we just need peace and love this time of year, if you know what I mean! This year's book fit that desire perfectly.
Younger son wanted to try making crepes over the weekend, and he did a great job with them!
We made one dinner with them - inspired by a meal we had at a restaurant in California called the Crepevine. Then we also had them for dessert one night with bananas, Nutella, and whipped cream. Yum!
Speaking of dessert, LeeAnna's question of the week is about our favorite Christmas cookie - and mine always is the traditional cut-out sugar cookies, decorated with frosting and sprinkles. I haven't made any yet this year, but probably will the week of Christmas. This picture is from a few years ago. Sometimes I get lazy and just do drop cookies instead of rolling them out and using the cookie cutters. But they're still tasty!
Hope you're having a great week!
