Peanut Clusters

Oreo Truffles

Adding peppermint extract.

I took the day off yesterday to hang out with Owen.  He loves to cook so I had him over to help me get some treats ready for our “Benson Christmas” on Saturday.  He is an excellent helper!!  We made peanut clusters, oreo truffles and saltine toffee – YUM! 😉

Every Grammy should have “Santa Mugs” for hot chocolate & grandkids.  My grandmother had them for my brother and I.  I’ve been wanting them for awhile now but they were either too big or too expensive.  I found these at the “Dollar Store” – yep just a buck!  They’re adorable, just the right size for kids and no one will be heart broken if one gets dropped! Technically I only have 2 grandkids buttttt surely more will come and I’ll be ready! 🙂

My cousin, Laura who lives in California is a quilter and has made some beautiful quilts.  I just received a gift from her and it was this adorable little “Farm Quilt”!  Her card read that I should have my own little farm quilt to wrap my grandbabies in, to have tea parties on or for starry nights – how stickin’ cute is that!!  I just love it – it brought tears to my eyes to have something so special!  Thank you Laura!!!! xoxo

Sooooo Jason and Tara are at it again!!! Designing and building!  Their new “Ranch” has kind of an “L” shape eat-in kitchen so Jason built banquette for seating & back wall board but then their 4 legged kitchen table didn’t work so he built a new table! Thennnnn they built the mason jar light fixture hanging over it!  The navy color paint looks great against that new white window trim.  Tara did the burlap cushions and the plate wall is soooo cute! Way to go Bensons!  🙂

Wow – Frankenstein & this adorable little duck stopped by on their way to “trick or treating” Saturday night. Tara did such an awesome job on Owen’s make up. You couldn’t even recognize him! Love these two!

Where’s my candy Grammy?

I’m soooo pretttyyyy!

Oh my word, sooo cute.  Tara found this little duckling costume at T.J. Max.  Belle loves it and it’s stickin’ adorable on her.  She’s looking in a mirror in the second pic – lol.  I think she’s singing in her head “I’m soooo prettyyyyy”!
