Deck the Halls

Christmas time is here again, and it is really beginnning to show. Great Harvest has started picking up this last week, which means I have spent alot of time working. I've been making Pumpking Rolls, taking care of the basket orders, and helping bake sweets occasionally. This means I have been leaving home early and getting home alot later than normal (sometimes after Briant) and therefore not blogging about all the events that have been going on around here.


You haven't missed much. I'll give you the highlights from the last two weeks. There are really only a few.


We put up the tree!!!
This is my very first "real" Christmas tree! My mom was allergic growing up. The smell is incredible! I'm really loving it.



I made caramels for the very first time!!!
They turned out so good! I absolutely love caramels and I am so impressed that they turned out so well on my very first attemt! Thanks Julie for that website, it was awesome.
Here is my RECIPE for all who want a really easy, step by step (with pictures) way to make caramels.
We got our new computer!!!


I love it, and it runs smooth.... a best of all.... it's fast! Enough said. Thanks Briant!

Oh man... I LOVE real trees and homemade caramel! I can only make caramel once a year because I will eat. It. All.

I am a BIG fan of real trees and refuse to have artificial. This year we're going to cut our own down.

The caramels look absolutely yummy. We'll have to try those.

We just made a batch of caramel. We were fighting over every last drop that we could scrape out of the pot and lick off of the spoon. Now we just have to wait and we can eat the rest of them. YUMMY!!!!

I just made caramel yesterday and it is really hard stuff to make! This was the first batch that I have ever gotten to turn out. Your computer looks nice! Merry Christmas to you guys.
