Makin' Candy ...

One of the pluses of the boys

getting older is the ability to make

candy at Christmas.

I guess we could've done it sooner, 

but my obsessive tendencies with messes

kept me from trying.

I know.  Shame on me.  

But we are in full swing now.

We cranked out some yummy stuff the other night.

Like chocolate dipped pretzels.

And chocolate dipped oreos.

And chocolate dipped caramels.

And chocolate dipped p'nut butter crackers.

Are you sensing a theme here?!

Blaine threatening to sample before we're done ...

J-man making up the p'nut butter crackers ...

Bowdie doing what he does best ... manning the chocolate ...

Hard at work ...

Quick snapshot ...

Love to see smiles ...

J-man's handiwork ...

... and a GREAT time was had by all!
