Peppermint Bark


Alex and I started our day making peppermint bark for Neil's work Christmas party. They are having an auction to raise money for the Widows and Orphans Fund so I volunteered to make a candy gift basket with caramels, caramel corn and peppermint bark. Whenever I start cooking Alex is always the first one to want to give a hand. I even bought him his own apron (Samantha has one too) for baking projects.


The rest of the day was spent running Bev around town. I do this about 2 times a week and it wears me out. She (and I) were extra crabby today!!


But all of our holiday shopping and errands are complete. YES!! I only have 2 more batches of caramels to make, grocery shopping for Christmas day and cookies for Santa.


Tomorrow the kids have Christmas parties at their schools and Samantha has a class performance. Unfortunately, Neil and I have to split ourselves between the 2. Look for pictures of the festivities coming tomorrow....

Awe look at Alex the stud in the kitchen without his shirt on. I haven't seen the kids in awhile. Give them hugs for me.
