YOU'RE THE LUMBER TO MY JACK!

Ok friends, don’t even ask me where this title came from. So, I don’t know why, but when Mr. Nine and I put on our buffalo plaid matching outfits from Shinesty, I felt like I needed the bottle of my Winter Jack in some of the photos, so I came up with that tag line for my lumberjack & I was saying that the whole time we were taking pictures and the guys thought I was crazy.

Sorry, but these darling outfits from just made me think Jack Daniels whiskey, LOL! These outfits are called the Lumberjack and so I thought maybe we could take pictures in the woods with an ax or two, but they look so much cuter on the front porch and ended up on our Christmas cards!

 

Oh, my guy he is such a trooper and so blessed that he joined me in this fun! Make sure you check out Shinesty, they have matching pajamas, outfits and really nice Underwear, which I ordered a few pairs for the boys! They even have undies for women as well!

 
They made our Christmas cards extra fun this year and I have got to admit that when Mr. Nine put on the Patagonia Muff Hat for some photos, I was dying! Such a doll!

Would’ve loved to of gotten the whole family in matching buffalo plaid outfits but when they’re adults and not living at home, it’s so hard, one of these days we’ll get a group photo again, LOL!

Oh What fun...I was really laughing because I kept moving and being animated and Mr. Nine was not, kept the same pose, lol!

DATE PINWHEELS

Happy Tasty Tuesday friends! That’s right! Tasty Tuesday is back for one very special holiday recipe! There are a couple of holiday sweet treats my mom makes, that I request every year. Those are her white sour cream fudge and these Date Pinwheels! This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks that I used to love browsing through when I was a little girl. They are just the right amount of soft cookie and chewy date filling!

I cannot even tell you how much I love these. And truth is, these photos are from last year when I forgot to share this recipe and I didn’t get enough of them because I was eating the cookies so fast. I have included a photo of the ingredients and my mom and I are happy to share the recipe with you.

She hasn’t made them for me yet this year but I am anxiously awaiting them and so are my taste buds. But she did take a pic of all the ingredients for these, you will LOVE them!!

 

What you'll need

DATE PINWHEELS
INGREDIENTS
3/4 lb pitted dates, chopped

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup water

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup shortening

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

Cook dates, sugar and water, stirring constantly, until thickened; cool.
Mix brown sugar, shortening, butter, egg and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour and salt. Divide dough into halves. Roll each half in a rectangle, 11x7 inches, on waxed paper. Spread half the date filling on each rectangle. Roll up tightly, beginning at 11-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into the roll to seal. Wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut rolls into ¼ inch slices. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Makes about 5 dozen.

Hope you enjoy a sweet treat today my sweet friends!!

CHRISTMAS ON THE PORCH

The front porch and outside decorations are as enchanting as the Inside of the House. Not much changed out there this year but I added another red and buffalo plaid tree, some buffalo plaid cone trees and after I took a lot of the pictures, I added the tall Santa believe sign and I think it was the perfect touch. 

As you know, the three lit deer are new this year, a gift from my mom as she has known I wanted a set of deer for a long time. Got Lucky and got one day hit a lil snow to take this pic! Similar Deer Set HERE.

Love seeing these scenes each time I drive up to the house! 

And at night is so enchanting too!

I did my topiaries again this year with real greenery and I just love them.
