12 Days of Christmas Tradition Dec 20

Christmas art work.  Okay, so it is not a tradition yet.  This is our first year, but I plan to make it a tradition.

Ian isn’t as much into painting, coloring or drawing as some kids I know.  He is too busy to sit down for that long.  So when he does I like to make sure I capture it on film.

While at the craft store one day he found this wooden snowflake and ceramic snowman he wanted.  My mom bought them for him and she let him paint them at her house.

Ian really likes to mix all his colors together in the painters tray before using them.  Such lovely artwork.

 

Happy Painting

Oreo Cookies in Rice Krispy Treats…Genius!

Crabby boys, sleepy mama and working on two different projects meant this post didn’t get finished yesterday.

Tis the season for baking!!  I could really go for some Christmas cookies right now.  Wink, wink.

It is apparent the holiday season is upon us if you have been to Pinterst lately.  There are all sorts of wonderful Christmas cookie/dessert recipes and decorating ideas.

I found one last night that I just HAD to share!  Peppermint Oreo Krispy Treats, that’s right Oreo cookies in marshmallow goodness.  Can you say super yummy!  I haven’t made them yet, but I plan to this weekend to take to our friends house when we get our Christmas tree.

I don’t repin recipes to Pinterest, I just save them in my Plan to Eat recipe book.  That way when I want to cook them it is easy to add to my meal plan and shopping list.

Since I haven’t made them yet I don’t have a picture to show you and I didn’t want to steal the authors, so here is my mixer which will get plenty of use this holiday season.

Happy Baking
