"Santa Claus is coming to Town"

Boy did he ever!!! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

We had lots of fun today. The kids got lots of toys and clothes and haven't stopped playing with them since. Chris was a sweetheart and bought me a nice coat. I love you Chris (not just cause of my presents either). I am very thankful for our loving Heavenly Father and Savior. We love you all!
P.S. I'm proud of myself for remembering to have good batteries in my camera and having it on hand. This is the first year I have done that.

HO HO HO

I am so glad that I am all done with my Christmas shopping. I still have a few more things to wrap and yummy food to make. I can't wait until next week. I look forward to being able to see my kids faces as they (Allie) open their gifts and to be able to spend time with them. I enjoy spending time with our families and the traditions we have. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

" Will it EVER End?"

My kids and I went to Marci's house this weekend and spent the night. Friday we drove up in the morning and went to see the creche and gingerbread displays. Then we went to a craft fair and drove to Heber and went shopping. We were trying to decide if we were going to go to park city and shop or stay home and make Christmas candies. We decided on the candies. We made fudge, truffles, Oreo balls, banana bread, and peanut butter balls that night. then we stayed up late and made crafts. This morning we woke up and worked on more crafts until heather came up and then we went to look at a cute store of decorations and to the grocery store. We went back to marci's where we made almond butter toffee, and homemade caramels. then we worked on more crafts. It was a fun weekend but very busy and exahuasting! I had fun spending time with her family and making all these things. It is more fun when you have someone to make things with. Thank you Marci for inviting us up there!

The results of my Bushe de Noel

Ok I was able to get the cakes rolled up and cooled. when I unrolled them to add the filling they did crack. i just spread the filling on them anyway and rolled them back up as best I could one of them decided to fight me and cracked down the center of the roll. I hurried and wrapped it in plastic wrap tight and gently placed it in the freezer. The second one was a lot easier to do but yet again it cracked in lots of places. They are still in my freezer and will be frosted on the 8th. I won't be the one frosting them but will post pictures (if i remember to take some).
