This year Kaitlyn and I decided to do something different, instead of Christmas baking for family, we decided to bake and make some goodie plates to give to friends from 3rd ward who have made a difference in our lives. We gave to 15 people. Could of given to many more. Kaitlyn and I had a great day baking. We made Chocolate Crinkle Cookies with Hershey Pepperming Kisses on top, Chocolate Crunch Candy and Peppermint Fudge. I wish I got a picture of all of them and the cute plates we made for everyone, but I had a great day and Kaitlyn and I were so busy. 6:00 that night we loaded all the plates in the van and we all piled in and delivered to our friends. Everyone was so thankful and we will miss everyone so much. So thankful for the love and the difference they have given to our family.
This is peppermint fudge that I make every year. It is Dillon favorite and he can't wait for Christmas just so I make this. I can't tell you how many times I made this in December for friends and family, Christmas parties and for us to enjoy at home. This recipe is so easy and it is a sure pleaser to everyone!
We also made Gingerbread men and girls too just for us to decorate and for us to eat. It was a lot of fun. Kaitlyn cut out most of these gingerbread shapes for everyone to decorate.
Jason got home and wanted in on the action too. I think he just wanted to put a lot of frosting and candy on his so he could eat it. I think he had 3. What a sugar tooth he has!
The kids decorated and had a lot of fun.


The Gingerbread men and girls everyone decorated. So cute and fun! Thankful for this memory.
