Merry Day Before Christmas Eve!

        I know we have been a little absent lately.  It is difficult to sit down and blog when family is home and I am trying to enjoy every minute with these guys!
 But, the cooking and the holiday activities continue.  I woke up early this morning to put the finishing touches on Cocoa Bombs for Christmas Eve.  I made the chocolates pictured above yesterday.  If you want the recipe for those, I made them last Easter and posted the recipe here.        
   I received an early Christmas gift from my son and daughter-in-law!  It is the Cocoa Grande to heat the milk for Hot Cocoa Bombs! (or you can make regular hot cocoa in it) They gave it to me early so that we can use it on Christmas Eve.  I am so excited.  It makes the milk foamy, too, so the cocoa seems extra special.

You can order one here, while it is still cold outside.
Since we will be drinking Hot Cocoa, and Hot Orange Punch, Cookies are in order.  When I saw this idea on Domestically Speaking, I fell in love with it and decided that I had to try it for our family party.  I am going to use my favorite sugar cookie recipe.  I already have the dough chilling in the fridge while I am writing this post.  She used a delicious looking frosting to stick on her candy canes.  I am going to use Wilton Candy Melts for mine because they harden so quickly.  I also found the idea done on foodfolksandfun.  They baked their own cookies instead of using store cookies and she gives an icing recipe. They had some cute pics as well.

   Check out Facebook later, and I will put up pictures of how our sugar cookies turned out.  Here is the recipe for sugar cookies that I always use.  It makes a good, tasty rolled cookie.

   Life is good!  We feel so very blessed this year and we are filled with gratitude.  Another blessing happened yesterday, my teenage son found a job! He has been looking for a while, so this was a great gift.  I won't be posting again until after Christmas, so I hope that you all have joy, love and happiness in your lives this year and always.  Remember to continue to #LIGHTtheWORLD, as many have done throughout December this year.  The theme for today is to be a peacemake as Jesus was-how appropriate for what can be a stressful time of year for many.  Tomorrow, the Christmas Eve theme is Jesus Cared for his Loved Ones, and so can You.  How perfect when family and friends will be gathered.
​     Merry Christmas to you all from 3 Winks!  See you in a frew days!

Chocolate and chocolate ice cream is energetic food. Kids and women likes it because it so sweat and it also using in sweat food. But it is not good hot days. We can drink chocolate shakes and it gives same taste with coolness.
