Chocolate Dipping and Snow Shoveling

This year my mom and I decided to dip both of our chocolates on the same day... Not recommended. It took us 5 hours to dip our 15 pounds of chocolate! Towards the end we were very DONE! I do however love the time spent with family, covered to our elbows in chocolate. We can get some pretty good conversations going with 5 hours and a little Bing Crosby Christmas playing in the background!

Toby was a very very good helper this year! She took the fondant my mom had rolled into balls and she turned them into "snakes." At least this year she stayed out of my mom's potted plants!

This is the completed chocolates dipped that day. For some reason the picture doesn't quite do it justice. It seemed there was a lot more than that! It's a good thing we had my Grandma Jake, Aunt Susan, Two sisters Jamie and Jerica, and of course Toby to help!

Before Toby and I headed to my Mom's house to dip, we needed to shovel our drive. I'm pretty sure my car would have not gone anywhere. Toby had fun, although she kept fallling over and getting stuck and I would have to help her out. She loves the snow!
