Cookie Day

Taylor in her cute gingerbread outfit from grandma's in MI.
She used the sprinkles as shakers to entertain herself
YUM peanutbutter fudge... She takes after her great grandpa Doyle, she LOVED it...
Auntie Natalie was sick we were so glad she wore a mask so we wouldnt get her germs
Landon helped smash the oreo cookies for the dirty snowballs.
Helping opne the hershey kisses for the pretzel/m&m/ kiss candy
T really just wanted to be the "taste tester" forget making the stuff.

she iced her own cookie & ate it as she went along.


Landon & one of his cookies

dipping the chocolate, I bought a little chocolate pot melter it seemed to work pretty good & read on pinterest(I love that site in case you havent seen it yet) some different techniques to getting the chocolate on the peanut butter balls & the dirty snowballs. Dont dip the ball into the chocolate, put the ball on a fork & spoon the chocolate over the top, we also used a cookie dough scoop to make the balls, NExt year I think we need a smaller scoop but it worked great.
play time for T & Landon, they were having a great time
mixing the ingredients for the chex snack mix

At one point Taylor was walking & crawling on Landon to get in the garden center with him. Jeremy & Nat said normally he would be complaining but he LOVES Taylor
We made sugar cookies, toffee, dipped pretzels, chex mix, left over nuts mixed in chocolate(like peanut clusters-they were good), peanutbutter balls, dirty snowballs, pretzel/M&M kiss candy, peanutbutter kisss cookies, today....Then Jess made snickerdoodles, chocolate krinkle cookies yesterday & I made chocolate & pnb fudge yesterday...LOTS of yummy treats.



We were able to make lots of treat plates to share with others. I dropped one off at Mrs Cobbs (our old neighbor) she was disappointed Taylor wasnt with me. I have one to take to Ronnie & Barb tomorrow. All in all a fun day. Celebrating Christmas with Landon tonight before family dinner night. Its definately a pizza night tonight.....
