A Halloween Christmas...

Christmas is so close & we can hardly wait! We’ve had a busy weekend full of Christmas Fun!! Saturday we spent the day decorating Christmas houses and baking treats. Now…you may notice these aren’t your “typical” Christmas Gingerbread houses. These are actually Chocolate Cookie houses…and they may or may not be ment for Halloween décor. Once you throw out the ghost & bats and add in some colored icing and candy…who can really tell the difference? I’ll tell you who can’t…the Brandt kids ;) The kids seemed quite content to decorate & quality test the candy decorations. Gav didn’t want to decorate at first, but the girls were having a blast and tempted him to join in! He did steer clear of all baking activities though. Luckily Auntie Mikey came over to lend a hand. Let me just say…making rice krispie treats into shapes is WAY harder than it looks. I’ve scratched it from the list of activities I’ll do again…the cookies however, were definitely a hit!

Treaters

Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet (John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats) Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton. As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided. Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really A...
