And the baking extravaganza is coming to a close. I am going to make the Chocolate Oat Toffee Bars in the next couple of days, Cardamom Cookies early next week, and the Sugar Cookie Cutouts for Christmas Eve. I'm going to round it all out with the only two recipes that actually taste like Christmas to me, Coffee Cake and Yorkshire Pudding. But in the meantime, here are the Peppermint Snowballs.
Yes, they are pink. The crushed up peppermint pieces mixed with white stuff like cream cheese and sugar made pink snowballs. They are actually really pretty. They aren't overwhelmingly minty, which is nice.
Other than baking, we have been having fun around here trying to keep our new crawler out of her Christmas presents. She actually ripped off a big chunk of the wrapping paper on one of them today. So Brett had to keep her entertained by reading her Pat the Bunny.
We are going to see the lights at Temple Square tonight, which I'm really excited about! Brett and I went to see them on our first date. We were at a Jazz game, and the arena isn't far from the temple. Brett wasn't going to take me because he thought it was a little bit presumptuous for a first date, but since I'd never seen them I asked if we could walk over there. We did, and then we got stuck right before getting on the highway for an hour because his truck broke down. It was the best date I had ever been on, and Brett must have felt the same way since he kissed me when we got home.

Pat The Bunny was my favorite book when I was a kid. I actually wore out the bunny.
Love those cookies. If we lived near you we would take some of those off your hands! Love that first date story too! I still have yet to see the Temple Square lights myself. I see all these people posting pictures of it, and Im a little jealous.
wow, first date! so cute. And those snowballs cookies were the best!
That's my parent's first date too :) Cute.
