Treats for Christmas

For Christmas, Connor and I went to Texas where all my side of the family was gathering. My sister and 1 of my brothers live there as well as much of my mom's family. My parents and other 2 brothers flew in. Being down here in AZ, TX is not any further than going to UT, even though it seems like it's much further away. We drove it in one long day.

Connor had a great time making a gingerbread house with his grandparents. He was so excited and enthralled in the whole process. He especially liked eating the candy- typical. He's definitely Ammon's child! The two of them could eat candy and nothing else all day. Me, I prefer chocolate.

structure finished; time to decorate- Connor's already licking his fingers

These are adorable cake pops a friend of mine made. I thought they were so cute, I had to share them. She said all she did was mix cake and frosting into the desired shapes (reindeer, christmas tree, present, santa's hat, etc), put them on a lollipop stick, dipped them in melting chocolate then decorated them. So cute and way yummy!
