From the Holidays - Part 1


1)  A Night Visit to New York City



In mid-December we drove into the city to pick up my daughter who was taking the train home from college.  I was able to capture the Empire State Building and Macy's.


2)  Our Dog Bosco



My cute and loving dog Bosco let me put this silly reindeer headband on him.  He was so funny and kept it on his head for a while.  In this photo he reminds me of a cute little reindeer.


3)  Holiday Glass



My daughter bought us this really cute glass from her college.  I have it sitting on my kitchen windowsill, and when I look at this glass it always puts a smile on my face.


4)  Holiday Baking



It was so much to fun to see my daughter and friend in the kitchen baking this Starbucks copycat lemon pound cake.  They decided to bake this cake late one evening during the holidays.  They both found the recipe on a blog and then went to the store to buy all the ingredients for the cake.  I was so impressed and amazed at how great this cake tasted.  I hope they make it again next Christmas!


5)  Baked Goodies



We all enjoyed and had a lot of sweets during the holidays.  On Christmas day we had checkerboard cake, pastries, and assorted cookies that my sister-in-law made.


6)  Costco Mac and Cheese




We never had Costco's Mac and Cheese before and we decided to try it out for part of our Christmas dinner as one of the sides.  The funny thing is my sister-in-law brought with her mac and cheese for our Christmas dinner, not knowing that we had it too.  (Great minds think alike).  To solve the problem I used my sisters-in-law for Christmas Day and we had ours a few days after Christmas.  I would definitely have the Costco mac and cheese again for another special occasion.

These are just a few favorites from the holidays.
