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!
