Christmas was spent in Arkansas this year with the whole family. It was a very relaxing week filled with lots of great time with the family and so very much food.
-- Some highlights --
I made gingerbread cookies before I left using Martha's recipe and some royal frosting:
Once in Arkansas, Mema put us to work making the peanut butter and coconut candies (two types, not together):
There was so much food but little photographing of it, I was too busy eating of course!
But here is one: roasted potatoes, black-eyed peas, slaw, and bacon wrapped green beans.
These were the sides that accompanied the fish fry.
There was much card playing per the usu:
And SNOW!
Yes Arkansas had a very white Christmas for the first time since 1926!
It was beautiful and there is plenty of proof:
I really liked the snow, if you couldn't tell. And it was a good snow, a few inches that stuck around a couple of days but no ice. So perfect.
Hope y'all had a very merry Christmas!
