First, I want to just say how much fun our baking month has been.
Truly, a time that I will cherish for many, many years…

The chocolate smeared smiles.
The flour covered floor.
The chubby little hands gripping wooden spoons.
The # of times I had to say “put it in the bowl- not in your mouth!”
The laughter.
The smiles.
The memories.
The mountain of dishes.
All of it.
I loved all of it.
(well, ok, maybe not all those dishes.)

From our family to yours,

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Today was our last baking day.
Wow.
I can’t believe we’ve made it.
Tomorrow we will hand deliver our baking and I can not be more excited!
Yippeeeeeeeee!

Our plans changed a little as far as who will be receiving our gifts but I think that God has perfectly directed our paths and knew from the beginning who would be eating our sweet treats.
(I promise to write more details on our baking delivery adventure soon…. sometime after the buzz of Christmas is over…)

So, for our last day we decided to make one of our family favorites.
Crunchy Caramel Popcorn. Yum.
We make it every year at Christmastime and munch on it after church while we sit around and visit or play fun games together.
This recipe truly makes the best Carmel popcorn and I am so excited to share it with you!

This afternoon we had fun building our Gingerbread house.
Although, I’m pretty sure more candy made it into the mouths of my little ones than onto our house.
And because we “ran out” of candy I ended up giving the kids mini marshmallows to help decorate too.
