Tonight was cold and blustery, and our family spent the evening at home just being together. It was great! After a dinner of hot soup, Corey & Allie baked cookies while the boys and I watched Rudolph on TV. (We love ABC Family's Christmas movies in December!) Then we all sat by the fire and watched Polar Express while we enjoyed warm chocolate chip cookies.

If there is one thing that I do not need, it is something to put in my kitchen cabinets. However... I have always loved Fiesta dishes. The other night I was at Linens N Things' Going Out Of Business Sale, and they had a few Fiesta dishes left. I decided then and there, that I think that it would be fun to start collecting them. I plan to pick them up one or two at a time when I find a great deal. New. Used. Any color. Maybe by the time that I have a kitchen with space for them, I will have a full set. :) Something to collect. I love having something to collect! So, despite my lack of space to keep them, I have officially started collecting Fiesta dishes. This cup is my first purchase, and I love it. Tonight I tried Egg Nog creamer in my coffee as I sat by the fire.
The fire - great. The creamer - not so much. The cup - fabulous!

Jack moved to the couch to watch the end of the movie... and to fall asleep for the night. (like many nights before this one)

Looks like you had a great evening. I love your cup ... love Fiestaware too. I always look at it in Canton. They have such great pitchers.
What a great night! I LOVE the picture of Corey and Allie baking cookies, there is just something super sweet about daddy/daughter pictures.
On down the road to Christmas. I love it Amy! Almost makes me feel like I'm getting to experience the holidays with you on a daily basis. Very bittersweet... well, mostly sweet but I would love to really be there too if it were possible. :0)
I'm glad you had a good night at home. I should have come back after Bunko and crashed your party. :)
I love that pretty red Fiestaware cup, and am so glad I was with you when you began your new collection.
As for the eggnog creamer, I'm sorry it wasn't what you hoped for. The eggnog coffee I gave you came from World Market. I'm sure you could exchange it for a more appealing flavor (like peppermint).
