I went grocery shopping today and the grocery store was a nightmare. Hopefully I won't have to go back again before Christmas.

We are going out to eat tonight then going shopping. Not really Christmas shopping, picking up something we need for the house.

Enjoyed a great night out with friends. We did a little shopping, but mostly I just enjoyed all the Christmas lights on the drive home.

It's hard to believe that in just one week I will be enjoying Christmas with my wonderful family. I can't wait!!

Perfect Christmas Breakfast
Eggnog French Toast

Loaf thick sliced french bread
3 eggs
1 cup eggnog
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg (if not included in the eggnog)

Cut bread slices in half. Combine remaining ingredients. Quickly dip slices (do not soak) in egg mixture and cook on hot buttered or oiled griddle until golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm with butter and syrup.

Thank You so much CandyKane for sharing this recipe with us!!

This year dd's getting a new Christmas stocking. She's always used the same one so I thought it was time for a change. What's really cool is that Santa is going to bring it for her.
