Lot's of stuff

Tis the season...we've had a busy few days.  Sunday we drove over to Willow Creek to visit with Grandma Lee.  The kids love her Chihuahua pups.  Their names...Taco and Bell.  We celebrated her birthday a couple days early and took her out for pizza and pasta.

At this morning's playgroup we went to Alicia's house and made graham cracker houses and playgroup ornaments.  Lots of fun, we love all the Christmas activities!  Click here for more pictures from playgroup.

ELF ADVENTURES


So we've had Rose and Izzy, our adopted elves for a few days now and they are just getting into so much trouble.  The other morning we woke up to this scene....Img_5339_1


Jacob's response was a bit 'annoyed,' "Aw man, they got into the cereal and made a mess." 


Then this morning we found them here....

When the kids woke up the elves weren't in front of the fireplace where they had been put to sleep and Jacob was convinced that they just left.  He looked around and couldn't find them anywhere.  About 30 minutes later they went to take a bath and Whoa! the elves were taking a popcorn bath! 


This evening after feeding them their crackers and water then sprinkling on their magic snow, he said, "They better not get into mis-cha-vous again tonight!"  Let's hope not...we'll keep y'all posted.  :-) 





Now I'll leave you with this recipe.  I'm in the process of making my 3rd batch so that tells you how good they are!

1 package Oreo cookies, crushed


8 ounces cream cheese, softened


1 package white almond bark


 


1 package chocolate almond bark


Using a hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese together.  Roll into walnut size balls.  Chill for an hour.  Melt approximately 3/4 package of chocolate almond bark.  Dip balls into the melted bark.  Allow to harden on wax paper.  Melt about 1/4 package of white almond bark.  Decorate with drizzles of the white almond bark. 


ENJOY!
