Too bad I didn't get to enjoy them. Zoe aka "The Puke Monster" struck again. This time I was the lucky recipient. We were all getting up in order to get ready for church. Zoe had climbed in bed with me and was telling me good morning and giving me a hug - when all of the sudden she coughed a little and then started puking all over me. I was pinned down and couldn't move to escape it. It was so gross, I almost lost it. So, I got to stay home with her this week as we thought it would be easier for someone to sub for me last minute than to teach Elders Quorum at the last minute. So, I missed Noah singing and signing in Sacrament Meeting and I didn't get to teach my Christmas lesson - I guess there is always next year.

Now on to happier topics:
Dan and I have been wanting to do some Christmas baking and deliver plates to our friends and neighbors for years now, but something always comes up and we run out of time. This year we accomplished our goal. We spent an evening in the kitchen together making some fun holiday treats. It was so much fun working together and I think we make a pretty good team. He was the mastermind behind the peanut brittle and candy coal, I tackled the peppermint bark and crunch bars. We also had a lot of fun working together to get everything packaged up. I think the end results were amazing and we finally started the new tradition we've been putting off. We had so much fun loading the kids in the car and delivering the goods. Here is a peek at our efforts, I totally forgot to take pictures of the goodies before we packaged them up so these will have to do.
Start with a Snowman plate, then you add the goodies....
Homemade Peppermint Candy Coal....
Homemade Crunch Bars....
Homemade Peppermint Bark...
Homemade Peanut Brittle...
The finished product - ready for delivery....
I can't believe Christmas is in 3 days. I am happy to report that we are completely ready. Everything is purchased, wrapped, and waiting to be put under the tree.
