I am soo relieved to be on Christmas break! It means that everyone had their Christmas musical programs, parties, gift exchanges, teachers were gifted, and I am not on call for subbing, I can just relax a little, right?****** I have really learned to appreciate what it meant to be a stay-at-home-mommy, which could be a whole post all on it's own. Anyway, I am looking forward to some quality time with my children and Loren, today we played a board game, and started baking our goodies, the kids love both! We made my "special recipe, sugar cookies", and my beloved Grandma Joy's Peanut butter fudge. Loren and I have it down to a science, (the fudge making process is very intricate.) My Grandpa would stand beside Grandma, the way Loren and I do now, and assist in making the "love fudge" I was taught by the best! My Grandpa Charlie made sure I wrote down every detail of how exactly, the heavenly candy is made. It is one of my most favorite memories of them together, and a wonderful tradition, one that I'm sure will live on for years to come. The time I spent with my Grandma, learning how to make some of her best recipes, for example; Biscuits and Gravy, to name another, was one of the smartest things I have ever done with my time, I miss her soo much.

Yum, sounds great and what a fun family tradtion. Your grandmother must have been awesome, I love when you talk about her! But I am so sorry that she isn't here with you anymore. That fudge will definitely live on though. I would love the recipe, I have never made fudge but Andy loves it. Relax for the next few weeks, enjoy the time off!
yum, I've been eating too much fudge and am starting to look very much like a pudge! But it looks fun to make it as a couple, our candy making is a little more like Travis sitting on the couch watching football waiting for me to make him a treat! We need to start hiking when I get back, I think I've gained 10 lbs. in the last week!
