Double Chocolate espresso Brownies (which btw are the best brownies in the world) however consumer beware if they are thrown at anyone they have the potential of knocking someone out they are that dense!
Lastly we had pumpkin crunch, which was made by my momma and it was wonderful!
Tomorrow the rest of the clan will be arriving and we are having a second semi thanksgiving meets christmas celebration. We are doing the infamous "draw" which is quite possibly the most fun Christmas gift exchange in the world! I got GREAT gifts in this years draw! Basically all the gifts are wrapped in newspaper so noone knows what is what, and there are hundred of gifts on the kitchen table. If you touch one, you must open it. It goes around the circle until every gift is opened, and then the fun begins. BARTERING! It is so much fun! Of course there are those few presents that get put in on purpose that are duds, or are meant for a specific person, or everyone loves it like Chip's Homemade beef jerky (FABULOUS!) It is seriously great fun!
We are having a chocolate Tiramisu charlotte for dessert...
a caramel apple pie...
and a traditional pumpkin pie!
(can you tell I love baking?!?!)
Besides the food Addy is having a blast with her cousins! I feel kind of disowned because she has wanted NOTHING to do with me because she has better people to play with :-( I guess I can't blame her those kids are pretty darn adorable!
If you can't tell they are hugging one another, but the just wouldn't stand still for the camera! geez kids way to be acting like kids ;-)
Yes, she really is this cool....
Family always makes it feel alot more like Christmas, but so does a skinny tree right in the front entry way to a house! did I tell you I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
31 days till Christmas... Good luck to everyone shopping in the madness tomorrow!
Happy Holidays!
