Look what came in the mail for Murphy yesterday! His very own doggie holiday sweater! 
Isn’t he a handsome devil? 
Grandma sent him a lovely sky blue snowflake sweater with a white-trimmed hood and cuffs, so, of course, we needed to try it on immediately. However, Murphy thought it made him look fat, so we took it off 5 minutes later.
Look what else came in the mail yesterday: my new Canon Powershot S90!!! Mal bought it for me for Christmas from Open Sky and I got to open it a little early.
Check out the quality of the photos…
Old Canon Powershot that was well-loved and abused:
New Canon Powershot S90:
In addition to giving me an early Christmas present this morning, Mal made me breakfast. He was on a roll this morning!
Breakfast
My wonderful husband made me an egg, cheese, and ham sandwich on whole wheat bread. It hit the spot! For some reason, eating eggs for breakfast always makes me feel like it’s the weekend.
And, of course, I made some iced coffee with breakfast– this morning with a splash of eggnog.
Cookie Friday
A little inspiration for your Cookie Friday from a reader:

“I know you didn’t request “Cookie Friday” documentation, but I had to share this one with you. After all, you are a fellow cookie enthusiast. This was an AMAZING cookie that I got from an adorable, family owned bakery called Stick Boy Bread Company. If you’re ever in North Carolina visiting Kath again, you should come up to Boone and try it! This cookie is called the “Magic Cookie” and it’s loaded with chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, and marshmallow! An explosion of baked deliciousness if I’ve ever tasted it. Thanks for being a constant motivation and positive influence for a healthy lifestyle!”
