Candy Cane Cookies

 

Winter is really putting on a beautiful show for us. We got four inches here in eastern Pennsylvania. I'm really enjoying my time off from work.  Today was our family Christmas Party on my moms side of the family.  (We always have it after Christmas so everyone of my moms fourteen brothers and sisters and their kids with their kids can attend.)  I really didn't know what to make so I made a pumpkin pie and some delicious Candy Cane Meltaways.  I love anything that has to do with mint!  As I was looking around the kitchen I saw all of these candy canes sitting in a jar looking pretty but no one eating them.  I remembered last year I made these cookies but forgot all about it until I went to my pinterest site and saw them. My kids loved them and so did the aunts and uncles.

 

 

Enjoy!

 

 

 

Happy New Year!

 I have started my second page of a 365 page book! Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a wonderful start to your NewYear. We celebrated my brothers 40th birthday and partied in the New Year! I slept in until 10:30 the next day. I never sleep this late. I guess it's good I did or I would have been very cranky!

I have so many exciting projects I want to do in 2014.

•  I want to redo the steps, take off the carpeting and paint and stain them.
•  Fix the front closet and make it a real closet for coats and shoes.
•  I really want to redo my bedroom. Our bedroom has not been touched since we bought this house ten years ago. I know, very sad!
•  I want to blog more.
• Help others in need. Serve God where he wants me to serve.
• I also want to save money in a jar so I have extra money to spend at the end of the year. I want to take the 52 week challenge.
