Wrapping, baking.....and lounging........

Owen really wanted to do all of his own wrapping this year.  He did such a good job.  He wanted to know why I could wrap so good.  I told him it was years of practice.  He did almost all of his by himself.  I only had to help towards the end.  Olivia of course did all of hers done days ago.  She put on Christmas music, got herself lots of ribbons and bows and went to work.  I love to see how each one did there own unique ways of wrapping.  I loved that Owen's had about a roll of paper on each present. 

These are the most awesome little dessert bites around, and what is even better is that it is the easiest thing ever.  It is a pretzel, with a rolo in the middle of it.  You then put them in the oven just til they start to melt.  You then place a whole cashew or pecan on the top and press down just a little.  They are delicious!!!! You can put anything on the top, I have also seen them with M&M's. 

This is what my dogs look like most of the time.  They LOVE to lay in front of the fire place.  After how both of there lives started out, it is safe to say that they are now "living the life."  Please always rescue.  There are to many unwanted animals already, I see it every single day.
