I suppose I will do this backwards because I don't know how to rearrange the pictures! So I started making Christmas candy. This is called Brown Candy it's my Aunt Beth's recipe and it' my dads favorite!
When I went to Gilmer this year I found a cookbook that had one of my favorite candies in it. Peanut patties, I never realized that I could make them myself! This is a microwave recipe I found on-line.We had our big Relief Society Christmas Party. Part of my assignment was to make the Christmas "gifts" for the ladies. So here they are 110 little ornaments. Rubies, with an uplifting little message.
I started crafting. I have been making these flowers and having a blast!
I also made these fun little boxes. I have seen them over the years, but this year I broke down and made them. It was super fun also.
110 partially finished Christmas ornament hand-outs.
Mike took me to a huge Christmas show with hundreds of Christmas tree's. I think this one was the most unique! It's actually 4 trees.
My hot husband, waxing nostalgic over the colored records!
Mikes birthday tractor has moved into our Christmas town and got right to work!
We had a super great Thanksgiving. We were at a table full of young people, and it was very touching to hear the things they were grateful for. Nathan was grateful that Mike and I are still married, he has a lot of friends who's parents aren't.
Issy wanted ice cream, so I put a little pumpkin pie with it. This is her angry face, she said "Grandma you put pumpkin on my ice cream!" I love it, she is so much fun!
Our table, sorry about the drink containers they aren't so cute on the table!:-)
This is my darling baby princess! I need to start calling her my "Prissy, Prissy, Princes!" She enjoys her accessories and shoes! To, to cute!
We have been having to much fun. We are healthy, happy, and surrounded by love! What more could a person want... we are blessed.
