Our first real day of "winter" came today. It's been snowing steadily since early afternoon. Not much in accumulation, but we enjoyed a toasty day in the house. Then Chris and the girls ventured out into the cold wet day. I watched from the warmth of the kitchen.

My wonderful family!
Mira, Amelia and I also made truffles and peppermint bark today. I hosted a truffle-making class at our house a couple weeks ago and put the lessons to good use today. They are a bit more difficult than I remembered, so I'm not sure I'll make the molded ones again anytime soon. But they turned out for the most part! The peppermint bark was so easy! I'll definitely do that again. They will be great to give out as Xmas gifts.

The holidays are coming! If we do a little at a time each weekend, we'll be ready for all the Christmas events we are going to. No stress this year, right?
