Snow. Snow. Snow.

We really are SNOW people. We love the cold, and the snow, and the lack of hot weather...we embrace not sweating, we embrace not wearing flip flops, and though they are ugly we LOVE our UGGS. We love the hunt for the perfect winter coat for the season. We love hot cocoa and grilled cheese concoctions, we love fireplaces and comfy blankets, piles of slippers and PJs that are worn all day because there is no need to go outside....unless it's for sledding or snowball fights (and even then you layer your PJs).... We love watching the snow fall, we love snowmen, and we love snow angels...... sadly we must forge north for our layers of snow, but thankfully not for our memories and adventures.....we still can do most all of this, and we have. This weekend there was more baking [stay tuned for the crackle Mocha Chocolate Cheesecake adventure] and there were snowball fights, puppy snow adventures, pj snuggles, attempts to snowmen, UGGS, and we did wear our perfect winter coats. These weekends, these holidays, are amazing.... I am spoiled beyond anything I ever imagined with peace, with love, with joy....these are a few of my favorite things:

Snow Much Fun. Furry Friends. Best Fuuurrrriends Forever.

Puppy Kisses. American Girls. Drumming. Beauty Shop. 

 Happy New Years!!

Oh MY Desserts....

Yesterday we had our second (third) Christmas party and it was my time to make some tasty (hopefully) desserts. I gave Mini the choice to pick out exactly what she wanted when it came to what we were going to bake and she definitely knew exactly what she wanted to make....and it almost all was a first for me. So we ventured into our baking with some wonderful Christmas music playing and only the freshest of ingredients.

Here is what we ended up with these three amazing desserts: (Recipes to follow! Along with our second day of baking adventures)

Our Peppermint Kisses

Fresh Raspberry Mini Cheesecakes

The most amazing Open Faced S'more Cookies
