APPLE CINNAMON DUTCH BABY and IN FULL SWING OF THE CHRISTMAS SEASON

 Hello loves.....how in the world are y'all doing today?
Are your gifts bought and wrapped?
Is you tree decorated in all your beautiful ornaments?
Is the house lined in Christmas lights?
Have you planned your Christmas Eve appetizers?
Whew!!!! It can be a bit overwhelming and exhausting right?
Well, darling....just breathe and relax....
the important thing to remember is simply to ENJOY
your home, your loved ones and the season of Christmas!
Be kind to yourself and find joy in the little things....that's my motto!

Now, this gorgeous Poinsettia, was a gift from a neighbor...
I had no idea who she was when she walked up our driveway
one night and gifted me this plant...I really thought she had mistaken
me for someone else, but it turns out, her son sold them
for his baseball team and her mother had bought several, so
she decided to give a few away to neighbors....how kind is that?

The supply chain shortage has effected so many retailers and it's been
hard to find so many things....I mentioned to Miss M that there were no
additions to the Better Homes and Gardens Christmas dinnerware which
I have collected in years past...however, she did come across
one new design at Walmart...it's just beautiful isn't it?

I believe I am finished decorating.....
other than setting the formal dining table....
here are a few pretty pieces in our kitchen.....

Love this Snowman cookie jar...he is too darling.....

Who doesn't love Santa's elves?

I simply adore my Debbie Mumm plates....
found these on Ebay a few years ago......
So now that we have these cute little plates on the table...
how about a delicious breakfast idea for Christmas morning?
Barefoot Contessa's Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby!

One sliced granny smith apple, sautéed with butter,
sugar and cinnamon.....

Dust with powdered sugar and warm Maple Syrup.....

APPLE CINNAMON DUTCH BABY

The flannel sheets are on the beds and the
Christmas quilts have dressed all the guest rooms...

All ready for the children who will be coming home
for the holidays....

The tree is done and I hope it looks festive.....
I did something different this year and added
white feather boa's.....I'm loving it!!!!

Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas season......
