Christmas

I love getting Christmas cards in the mail. I decided they would make perfect decorations this year. Our little trees were decorated head to toe with cards by Christmas morning.



It was a perfect white Christmas. Cozy fire, delicious food and I loved watching my family open their gifts.

French Toast Casserole

• 5 cups bread cubes
  4 eggs
  1 1/2 cups milk
  1/4 cup sugar
  1/4 tsp salt
  1 tsp vanila extract
  1 T butter, softened
  1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8x8 inch baking pan.

Line bottom of pan with bread cubes. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, 2 T of sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour egg mixture over bread. Dot with margarine; let stand for 10 min.

Combine remaining 2 T of sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Bake in preheated oven about 45 - 50 minutes, until top is golden.

It's great on it's own but you can add syrup, powered sugar or jam topping.
