Tia comes to Maryland (again)

We were so happy to have our dear tia come through Baltimore on her most recent world tour.


Em and Joe collaborated on a deliciousus breakfast that included Em's 'bangin' french toast (see video below) and Joe's masterful ham and eggs. Em's wonderful pal Myra made the coffee and we all enjoyed a delicious Sunday brunch. Joe even made sure Grandma LaRee's cute Christmas decorations made it to the table ....!

Then we all worked together to make Christmas cookies. We took the recipe out of the Joy of Cooking, which Grandma Marge gave me years ago and laughed out loud when it said, "Grandmothers and aunties who roll cookies for and with children are rare these days." We had a lot of fun, Kristi and I even merged our two cookies to make a tree cookie with a cookie star!

... Em has a special way of cracking eggs. check it out.

Looks like fun was had by all and I'm a bit envious as I eat my oatmeal this morning! Interesting egg cracking Em ... don't hit your head too hard or you'll have an face fill of egg. Love the Christmas video.

Tia? Espanol perhaps?? ... Anyway I'm glad Kristie came through and had fun. If nothing else this blog helps us all keep track of Kate. :)

Looks like a fun weekend.

OMG Em. You are TOO funny!
Looks like fun. I've seen a HGTV story about Baltimore's Christmas street. The whole street makes sure each of the row houses gets decorated (there's a few on the street who can't or won't participate but their houses get decorated by neighbors even if they don't want it done!)

Good times. Nice to put a name with a face Myra.
