Happy Friday! 🙂
Every year since I can remember, my dad delivers poinsettias to friends and family. Now that we have our own home, he brought one to us too.
It’s gorgeous and enormous, and for now it lives on the floor — but we love it. Thanks, Dad!

Are you doing any holiday baking this season?

Speaking of cookies:
I already need to make more because we’ve eaten an entire double batch. Oops.
The red velvet chocolate chip cookies are disappearing fast too.
Self-restraint: something I clearly do not have.
If you’re planning a special holiday meal, try the Lobster Mac & Cheese — rich, cheesy, and totally worth it.
It’s indulgent, comforting, and an excellent centerpiece for a festive dinner.
Today is the last trivia for 2009! I’m skipping a draw on Christmas Day, so the winner will be randomly selected tomorrow.
