Time to make our fondant!
It sure is crazy how fast this year is flying by! Saturday after Thanksgiving my family, 2 of my aunts, uncle and cousins met at my grandma's to whip out 17 batches of fondant! We made: coconut, cherry, mint, chocolate, orange, and olympian creme! My mom remembers helping my grandma make fondant when she was younger. I am so glad this is a tradition that has kept on going. Hopefully on day I will be teaching my kids how to make these and continuing this Christmas tradition my grandma started many years ago.
As I was pouring out a hot pan of cooked fondant onto the marble slab to cool, my Uncle Mike mentioned how he couldn't believe here I was helping. Handling hot pans and helping to stir when only a "short" time ago us kids were getting booted out of the kitchen for being in the way. Always told to look out, not to touch it's hot. All day long I swear, I was saying the exact things to Toby- Look out, Don't touch it's hot... It's a crazy thought that one day she will be in the kitchen helping me, just as I am now helping my family.

It seems like your family is always doing something fun together! I love that tradition!! We've been trying to decide what family traditions we want to establish for our little family because I'm afraid Beck is going to be 15 before I decide, I should just copy all the things your family does! And that little black and white outfit of Toby's is so cute!
Stephanie, of corse I remember you! Thank you for your sweet comment.
i remember Jamie telling us all about the Christmas candy making your family does. It looks like so much fun. What a cute tradition.
Random, but do you remember after institute when I kept saying "oh... OH.....OHHHHHHH!"? I don't remember what we were even talking about, but I remember all of us laughing.
You are right, being a mom is the best.
Tell Jamie to update their blog or start one of her own. :)
