Goodies

So I've been slacking on my blog again. Between Christmas, making goodies, parties, decorating the house, shopping, homeschooling, yada yada yada, who has time for blogging this season. I am exhausted already but I guess I do have an extra excuse. For those of you who don't know, we are expecting #4. We do have 3 girls already and we are praying for that boy (or for God to change our hearts and help us to be OK with His will). You can follow along with the ticker on my sidebar (which I don't think is accurate but we should be able to update it on Monday).

Here are the goodies we've been busy making. Well OK, I can't really take credit for these. My darling hubby made these ones, I wouldn't have the time, patience or energy for these but he does. He makes these every year for his goody day at work. I'm not sure how many this recipe makes but he doubles it and we have pastries all over the kitchen. They are so good and so worth all the work. He usually spends about 6-7 hours making these and even skipped church this time for them. Thankfully he makes enough for us to have some extra for ourselves and we even have enough to spread to the neighbors this year. See what I've been busy with, the bags of chex mix, (right behind those yummy pastries) they took me a whole 5 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes of baking. Well they probably took a little longer because I had 4 year old hands helping me this time. I love how this year holiday baking really has been pretty low stress this year. I might tackle some cookies for the kids to decorate but I will make the cookies and I will be frosting them when the kids aren't watching. They can sprinkle! Today will be toffee bars, YUMMMMM!

I don't know how much blogging I will be doing between now and Christmas, I'm just too tired! Enjoy this season to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior! Cherish this time with your kids! Love your family! Relax!!!! Read His Word!
