Pure Christmas Joy
Two weeks ago, I told Joe that I didn't think I was going to do any Christmas baking. After he laughed at me and called me a liar, I realized he was probably onto something. Less than a week later, I was making out my Christmas Goodie List. I tried several new recipes this year and I'm pleased to say that I approved of all of them! I even have a new favorite. So for your viewing pleasure...

This right here is heaven on earth, my new favorites.
Many people ask me - How can you possibly bake with 3 little ones running around? Quite simply - by ignoring housework and letting my kids watch movies all day and dragging toys up from downstairs. Here's what my typically "clean" house looks like after a couple of days of baking. The kitchen/dining room
A closer look
And the living room where Nate watches tv and the girls are stringing yet more toys all over the floor.

Yumm! Everything looks so delish! What are the new favorites with the red trim? I love to bake too and usually make too much as well. I start mine on Wednesday or Thursday,..whenever I can get the stuff.
Your house doesn't look too bad. My house looks like that everyday during the day until bedtime.

Yes, please post the pepperminty crunchy recipe, looks yummmmmy. Also, you are lucky I'm way down here in TX...if I were up there, you'd have daily visits from me, sneaking into your cookie jar! :)
Those look scrumptious!!
Your "messy" house is neater than my "neat" house! :) I don't know how you do it!
I agree with the others, you must post recipes!!
