christmas sweets



Hello there. These last few weeks have been busy at work and busy at home. I've logged plenty of hours in the kitchen--mixing, rolling, baking, icing, sprinkling. I had four generations of family over to help prepare the Christmas sweets this year! I've never been able to do that before, but with the new house we finally have enough room. Hooray!

We actually didn't go overboard with Christmas baking and making this year, but we definitely made enough to share. We made butter cookies, peanut butter cups (the best!), butterball cookies (I'm noticing a butter theme here), fudge, chocolate-covered pretzels, and Italian Cream cake.

I've also kept busy with Christmas crafting, but I'll save the photos for after Christmas. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. I love surprises!

Remember this? I was spot on for winter. 

Here's hoping I was right about the rest of the year, too.

  1. My husband would totally toast marshmallows in our fire too if we had one. In the summer he does this routinely in the firepit outside :) I am waiting for him to try it using the woodstove he just installed in the barn. Merry Christmas!!
