Christmas Traditions

At Christmas time, we like to make Christmas candy and then take plates around to neighbors. This year we did the pepper jelly, but we still had to make the candy. It is a tradition that, the kids informed me, we were not going to break this year. So, we made our candy. Unfortunately, in all the hussel and bussel around the kitchen, my pine garland fell off from the top of the cupboard. It brought with it our plate from Rome and Prague. They both shattered. We were able to piece the Rome plate back together with super glue. The Prague plate however, we attempted, but it did not make it. So, Justin and Emily, if you guys happen to go to Prague between now and July, would you mind finding us a plate? Sorry for the late blogs, we are trying to play catch up.


Recipes in hand, aprons on, we are ready to begin.

And loving every minute of it!

I love the progression of Gage. In every picture he has the hands to the mouth and he goes from clean faced to lovable, sticky mess by the end.

Next year I will have to remember to stay clear of your house, all that chocolate!!! What a fun family tradition!

PS Sorry about the plate
