Family Christmas Vacation! Part 1!

Some fun preparations took place on Friday for our fun family weekend!

I made one of our family's favorite "Christmas" foods... Poppyseed Bread with amazing almond flavor!

And I also made our family's favorite Christmas cookie . . .Mexican Tea Cookies! Valerie came over and spent the day making pumpkin cheesecakes, and apple pie, and Christmas Chocolate Chip and M-n-M cookies!  She was a huge help with all the baking!  And Daddy spent a couple hours chopping lots of ingredients in preparation for our Monday morning made-to-order omlette breakfast! 

Saturday morning, before heading out for our fun weekend, was Taylor's birthday breakfast . . .Stuffed French Toast! 

 Then we left around 9am for our 3ish hour drive to Easton, WA!
