Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas from Ohio! We had a great Christmas here, and Santa was able to find our house. We had a great Christmas with just our little family, and we really enjoyed it! We did miss our families, but had a great time together. We had a quiet Christmas Eve, in which we read the Christmas Story and other fun stories. We made cookies for Santa, and left him a note. Plus, we opened the annual pajamas. :) The next morning the kids woke up at 6:30am! We knew the battle was lost, and everyone arose to see what Santa had left. The kids really seemed to like what they received, and we had fun playing the games and with the toys all day. We hope your Christmas was fantastic, and you were able to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Our family is truely grateful for our Savior, and his birth and sacrifice.

P.S. Here is the recipe for the Buckeyes that some of you requested.

Buckeyes:

1 cup butter (softned)

1 pound peanut butter (your choice on creamy or crunchy)

5 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Chocolate to melt. ( your choice on type of chocolate)

Cream butter and peanut butter together. Add powdered sugar. Roll dough into small balls and place on either a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, or some other large container with wax paper. Place in freezer to harden. It does not need to freeze solid, only harden so they will not fall apart as you dip them in chocolate. Use toothpicks to pierce balls in the center, and slowly dip them in your melted chocolate, leaving a small circle on top with no chocolate covering it. Place on cookie sheet to cool, and gently rub the hole left by the toothpick closed. They are done. Have fun!
