Tuesday Treats #3

This treat I am about to share with you is perhaps my most favorite Christmas treat of all time ... and it really isn't a Christmas treat per-say. My Grandma Miller used to make it every December - and we would just gobble it up each Sunday we were at her house in December. So -- it has big Christmas feeling in it ... and we make it without fail EVERY December. I love it!

Corn Quickies

1 box corn chex
1 pound mixed nuts (optional)
1 cup coconut (optional)
Christmas color M-n-Ms (optional)

1 1/2 cups corn syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup + 2 Tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Bring bottom 4 ingredients to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Pour on dry cereal and optionals - mix carefully. Spread on was paper until set. Eat lots!

Other news: I finally got my copy of "Enna Burning" from the library - and it is pretty dang good! And ... Check out this cute picture of Krystal asleep with her hands in her pockets. She's been insisting on pants with pockets all week. Funny girl.

Yummy - think I'll make some soon. Cute little Kryssy - She's got to have her hands tucked in somewhere when she's sleeping. Love that sweet little one.

yes! tyler said that you reserved tomorrow for US. we are SO EXCITED. and in all the excitement, it didn't even cross my mind what we would do... but that's what is great about hanging with you guys, we don't need to do a darn thing. we could play with the magna doodle. we could do the brain teasers. hahaha. we could watch a movie... order food. make food. as long as we are together then it's the best time ever.
so i'll try and think of some ideas, and together, we'll come up with something. k? we'll be in touch.

LOVE YOU
