Donut Burgers

These are actually something my husband made. He grilled  cheese burgers and Krispy Cream donuts. They were actually really good and there were none left. 

The Red Sea

For family worship we wanted to recreate Moses leading the Isrealites through the Red Sea. So we got out the legos and created a sea and told the story while we acted it out with Lego. Little Man really enjoyed it and it helped him understand the story better.

Winter Owl Baby Shower

I help with a winter owl baby shower for a good friend. I made snowflake sugar cookies and my sister  helped me decorate them.
 I also made these sugar cookies for the Hot Chocolate bar to set on the cups.
We had a Hot Chocolate bar that everyone seems  to love.  There was a variety of toppings including syrup, different flavored marshmallows and chips, and candy canes for stirring. I also made marshmallows pops covered in white chocolate and blue sugar.







 My friend did a great job with the make the all the decorations. I helped make some of them and the favors.

These were made with empty baby food jars. We hot glued the owl and spray painted the top and filled with candy. Didn't they turn out good?

We hand stitched these little mittens and filled with chocolate covered pretzels. 
We cut all these little owls out by hand and attached to mini ziploc bags filled with chocolate covered snowflake pretzels.

Wine Tasting Party

We have  made many homemade wines and in hopes of getting rid of some we had a wine tasting party instead of our usual Oktoberfest. We had lots of cheese, fruit, brownies, and other appetizers. We sent everyone home with some wine too.

Plum Jam

We got a lot of plums from some friends, we went back for more but the bear had eaten them. So in addition to making wine we also made some plum jam with honey and agave instead of sugar and canned it. It set well and tasted delicious.
