And a VERY merry one it was!

So, with this year's candy-making, the real fun was "snow peeps". Remember Peeps, marshmallow Easter candy?
Well, I found a recipe for same and decided to make snowmen, aka snow peeps, they were a major effort, but I understand my grandkids enjoyed them. So, worth it, right?
I couldn't put this up until after they got them.


Then Sarah, Scottie's youngest, and Bobby, the son-out-law, arrived on 12/26 to spend a couple of days. The 27th was the second annual McArthur Christmas party. I really wanted pics from it and even had hopes of a decent photo of Scottie and I together. No such luck 'cuz the party was well attended and so darned much fun that I never took even one picture.

Both Buck and Cocoa spent the evening being party dogs - simply refusing to leave the fun and food - so they've been total slugs today. Buck got a little advance slug practice the day before the party snuggling up with Sarah who has described him as Buck the Body Pillow. Yep.



All in all it's been a great Christmas. Now it's time to take it all apart, plant the living tree and move on to 2009!
