Grandma's little cookie testers and tasters......Loved making cookies with them in December.....
 |
| Seeing the smiles while we bake and play in the kitchen..... |
 |
| And taste test all our cookies of course....... |
| Another one of my FAVORITE THINGS was watching a 3 and 4 year old Christmas Dance Recital....hysterical and heartwarming!  |
| This was a present to myself.....a year of Taste of Home Magazine....to go with this cool cookbook! I love this combo! and I'll use it all year long....Woot! (do YOU buy yourself presents too? If so.....you are my friend....lol) |
I LOVE cooking....and I love cookbooks with pictures....and I love cooking blogs too.....
 |
| My husband got me this absolutely cool "Bridge" camera from Sony......it is like a DSLR in clarity and lens, but it is idiot proof for dummies in the photog department like me.....I can snap a picture in the middle of taking a video...how COOL IS THAT? yEAh! I LOVE this..... |
 |
| When I turn it on the lens cap pops off and hangs by a ribbon....yeah that's another thing I LOVE about it! No messing with lens caps and worrying if you are going to lose it or forget to put it back in your camera bag! (can you tell I have forgotten stuff like that?....ahem....yes...well....I'm a creative sort......not an organized kind of mind.......) |
 |
| Cheering for peppermint ring pops.....I scream you scream.....we all scream.....for RING POPS! Aren't they the bee's knees? Yeah....they are so cute..... and watching my hubs play "Cootie" with them? Oh yeah......VERY priceless..... |
 |
| Me being a happy camper....after all the buying, wrapping, cooking, baking, stressing... it's finally all ready on Christmas Day.....and I can finally PLAY! It's that moment before anybody comes down to eat or open anything when you look around and say... I FRICKIN DID THIS! Because...hey......my work is done here..... |
 |
| Hot cinnamon rolls just out of the oven before the cream cheese icing is slathered on... can I get a cheer for mom? Oh yes.....these babies cause grown men to cry.... Okay I'm kidding there....but they ARE goody, yummy and perfect! |
 |
| My famous and traditional breakfast brunch casserole....Yummy! |
and have great conversation and laugh.......yeah.....it doesn't get any better than this folks....Family!
Pattie
 |
| I love the little kiddie table I make up for every holiday....My 2 girlies love it too......yay! |
 |
| Happy laughter and chaos reining and ripped up wrapping paper to jump in! |
 |
| Neighbors who deliver homemade yummy stuff to your door! I just LOVE THAT! |
 |
| Homemade Christmas cards out of kitchen stuff (Karo syrup and food coloring) mmhmmm....... |
 |
| Seeing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert......with my peeps..... |
 |
| And enjoying all the lights of the season.......So pretty.... |
These are a few of my favorite things....
Hope you get a year full of favorite things in 2012....
