One of the best Christmases ever!

By webmistress ⋅ March 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

This date, lucky #7, was during Christmas (yes, I realize I’m 3 months late posting)! Better late than never is my motto! :p

I was hoping for a low-key, STrESs-less holiday, and by golly, I got what I wished for. For me, eating delicious homecooked meals, baking goodies, and exploring cities are the best pastimes in life. How I managed to have all 3 for Christmas (no less!) is still something I’m trying to wrap my head around. I mean, at most, 2 out of 3 happens, but never has all 3………

….until last year!

Maybe I dreamt it. Wait, can’t be! I have photos! :p

Jeff ~~showed off~~ impressed me with his culinary skills.

The Breakfast of Champions

Belgian Waffles all buttered up and ready for the hot syrup

And later for dinner….One-step Lasagne with garlic bread

Together we baked…

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Make this recipe soon, it’s a keeper!

Jeff singlehandledly took on making these delectable muffins.

Double Chocolate Chip Muffins with Banana
He used a muffin mix, but you’d never know it wasn’t from “scratch”

And we did some sight-seeing…. to look at the beautiful Christmas lights in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Almost dusk

The previous night

The only time I was antsy was during our search for a specific 2010 Day Planner for me. What can I say? I’m extremely picky about certain things. I was faced with either doing without or worse yet, having to settle. We found exactly what I was looking for at our 2nd stop, good ol’ WalMart. Yippee!

Overall, I’d say I got the hang of low-key holidays. :p

Stay tuned for Date #8.
