Well, I hoped I'd make it back over here to get at least one more post in before Christmas. Time is getting shorter before the big day arrives. I got my cards mailed...started my baking...finished the last-minute shopping...and now, the post is getting done. I'm really trying to be better at posting on my blog. So many people, including myself, are on Facebook posting instead of here on Blogger. I love this medium (been here since 2007) because it seems so much more personal...off the beaten path, as it were. Slower paced. It seems some people on FB worry more about hits than content. NOT MY FRIENDS!!! but some... you know the ones...they Never talk to you or visit you once you accept their friend's request. They never like your post because they don't really take the time to read them. We all have those "friends". Time to do some FB weeding...
Ready for Santa
Larry made this Eiffel Tower with his laser. I made him add lights...lol... they change colors.
Tried to get a cute snap of Sloane but she just wasn't in the mood.
Made some Snowball cookies for Santa's arrival...
Also made Pecan Pies (2)
Me, at 3:30 this morning...hubby either, so I fixed toast and coffee.
I wanted a digital Presto Canner for the longest! It arrived and I'm in canner's Heaven!
Who can be in a bad mood after gazing upon this little face, I ask?!!
I made a Sheet Pan lunch with chicken, potatoes, yellow squash, bell pepper and onions. Turned out great!
Well, Merry Christmas my Friends! Stay safe...Stay warm...and enjoy your holiday!
The reason for the Season...

The food looks delicious. The smile on Sloane's face is so cute and adorable. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
As always, all your shares are wondrous. If I lived near by, I'd gain 20 pounds:)
Happy Holidays.
All that food looks delicious! And Sloane looks delicious, too! I could eat her up!!! You won't find me on FB anymore these days. It was no longer bringing me joy! LOL! When you unfollow half of your family because they are ridiculous it's time to go! I'm better off not knowing what most people are doing 24/7 anyway! I'll keep my blog going because I love it and it's a diary of sorts! Merry Christmas buddy! XO
I prefer blogging to Facebook and I know just what you mean about people there. Most people just ignore my posts and it's usually my blogger friends who react and comment. Bloggers don't always whine like Facebook people do too.
I always get hungry when I come to your blog.
That last photo of Jesus is beautiful. Oh my, your pecan pie looks scrumptious. I sometimes crave pecan pie. The Eiffel Tower your husband made is so cool, and how interesting that the lights change colors. Your Christmas tree is lovely, and little Sloan is precious as can be. I'm not on Facebook or instagram. My little blog is all I can handle at the moment. I love that pretty red plate for Santa's cookies. And your chicken dish looks amazing. Oh, that fudge, Yummy! My neighbor just brought me over some fudge, and it was good.
Merry Christmas to you, and Yes, please keep on blogging. Your posts are delightful.

That is the reason for the season - you are so right.
Gee you look like you are a good cook - would love to know how you made the chicken.
The pies look great - your tree - the Eiffel Tower.
Mostly the baby!

Merry Christmas, Donna! Gees, all of your food always looks so good! My baking and cooking is a challenge now that we are gluten free. BUT, I have found some great ways to make our old favorites using a nice flour blend by America's Test Kitchen. I'm not so interested in new things anymore, but more on making our old favorites so we don't feel like we are having to give them up since the Celiac diagnosis. Still...I want to come over to your house and just eat up all those cookies! :)
I'm with you on FB. I really don't like it. I like a STORY and something to read. I'm sick of people who just post photos of themselves every day. Yawn. BORING.
Oh that Sloane is soooo cute!! Meryl Christmas, Donna, to you and your family. Yes, Jesus is the reason! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your food looks delicious.
Such a wonderful smile on Sloane's face, I found myself smiling back at her :)
I hope you had a Merry Christmas, sending my good wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2023.
All the best Jan
I love you and yours.
Yes, the reason for the Season! Amen
I ordered everyone gifts on the 'net. Guess what, still waiting and here it is January. I told them that whenever they get delivered, those gifts will be their birthday! :)
Your cooking looks so wonderful! As it always does. And I am in love with Sloane Avery, she's just the cutest, sweetest, beautiful little baby.
xoxo
What wonderful Christmas photos. I love the Eiffel Tower. Great job!
Awwwww my friend, I hope your Christmas was merry although it looks like you and the Lord had that well under control! No bad pictures of Sloane exist, so no worries! Everything looks so delicious and tell Larry I love his laser Eiffel Tower! xoxo
