Because we were heading down South for Christmas we celebrated with Dan's family a little early. We went to his parents house for an afternoon and celebrated by eating a lovely pasta dinner and opening gifts from each other. Alma got a snuggly teddy bear from her Godfather Uncle Matt, a giant giraffe from her grandparents, and the promise of a toy box from papa BJ. Alma had the honor of being the only grandchild - except, of course, for Matt's new dog June.
This year when I asked Dan what kind of Christmas goodies he wanted he said Peanut Butter Bon Bons and homemade Chocolate Covered Cherries. I had a lot of fun looking for recipes and even more fun making a big gooey chocolate mess in my kitchen. Dan helped me roll the cherries and dip them in chocolate. The only problem was that the recipe said it made about 50 and we ended up with about 100. Even after giving them out to friends and neighbors we are still trying to eat them all.
