Christmas Treats

"We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup." - Buddy from "Elf" (one of our favorite holiday movies). We actually bought it this year and the kids have been watching it over and over again.Even though our holidays were a little more hectic and out-of-sorts with the surgery and such, we still managed to get in all of our sugar eating. Nathan favorite part by far is eating the sprinkles and licking the frosting. We spent one of the kids' Snow Days making and decorating tasty treats: chocolate covered oreos with peppermint (SO GOOD), dipped pretzels, chocolate dipped cookie dough, spritz cookies, sugar cookies. Plus we still had tons of fudge left from the double batch Sean made a couple of weeks earlier, not to mention all of the goodies friends and neighbors brought over. YUM! And as you can see despite the chillier weather as we head into winter Nathan is still sporting his underwear-only style. I don't know how he does it. We keep it pretty cool in our house during the winter months and yet every time I turn around Nathan has taken off his pants and shirt and is running around with nothing but underwear on. I ask him regularly if he's cold, but he always says no. He must run warm.
