School is finally out, so it was time to start some Christmas baking. I enjoy making some goodies for a few of our neighbors each year, and this year the boys were a big help.
Cole picked out a recipe for cookies & cream fudge, and we all thought it would be fun to make pretzels dipped in chocolate and sprinkles.
Cole and Alex each made a batch of the fudge (with my help of course).
Anna Grace helped by crushing the Oreo cookies.
While the fudge chilled in the refrigerator, Alex and Anna Grace assembled the gift boxes for the fudge.
Then it was time to make the pretzels. We thought that it would be something simple and fun, but we quickly learned that it was not as easy as it seemed!
Our first batch of the pretzels ended up dripping gloppy goops of sprinkles everywhere before we finally learned to let the chocolate cool a little before adding the sprinkles. As you can see, we made quite a mess.
I think I will be sweeping up sprinkles for a week!
Then, it was time to deliver some of our goodies. Cole was in charge of delivering the fudge, Alex delivered the pretzels, and Anna Grace delivered a card to each doorstep.
The kids are getting really excited about Christmas, but Anna Grace is worried about the rainy weather. She is concerned that Santa is going to make a mess in the house because he will be so wet!! Hopefully we will have dry weather for Christmas Eve!
