Christmas Chocolates...

The tradition of making chocolates for Christmas

continued again this year (year #4)

It was so much fun...

Caramel, Truffle, Mint, Coconut, Peanut Butter, Coffee, Raspberry, and Pretzel Bark

mmmmmmmmm...

The kids played while us "mum aka mommy aka mama's" visited and made chocolates

Sidenote:

It was cute to hear how each child called their mum-uh something different

Are you a mom, mommy, mama, or a mum ?

(my youngest calls me mum-uhhh , it sort of sounds like he always has a question)

When I was young one of my friends called her mom "Irene"

My kids can't say my "real" name without laughing...maybe it's a boy thing

Anyway...

So the chocolates are made and now I can focus

 on the rest of my Christmas baking list

Skor Bark, Eatmore Bars, Candy Cane Ice Cream Blizzard,

Gingerbread Cookies and Cream Cookies 

I have decided this year not to go overboard 

and will just make a few of our favorites

And as for the tree - It is still not up yet

but this evening feels like it might be the right time
