Nordic Ware Holiday Wreath Bundt Pan

This beautiful Nordic Ware Holiday Wreath Bundt Pan was a present last Christmas. I was excited  to use the pan this year and  make my Christmas Cherry Wine cake.  This Holiday Wreath Bundt Pan has beautiful intricate pine cone and holiday bow designs and I think the final cake turned out very festive.

Mr. Redford's First Christmas Snow

Oh the decisions to be made on a snowy day… attack the falling snow on the window pane or the Christmas tree? This is the first snow of the season and first Christmas for my new kitten, Robert Redford. Purposely left decorations off in the back of the tree and only decorated with nonbreakable ornaments. He has only chewed the bottom branches of the tree and loves to play under it. What fun he is having!
