Hard to believe that tomorrow is Christmas eve..
I'm happy to report that last nights midnight run was a success and we are officially done shopping. Now I just have to wrap everything and with so much of it shoved in the attic.. I can't help but wonder, what the heck were we thinking? I mean the attic access is right next to the boys bedroom door and although its simple to get up and in.. Its not the quietest door/ladder thing to get down. On the flip side.. My boys have the ability to sleep threw just about anything and everything. Maybe tonight when ron gets home we will get things moved so as soon as kiddos are off to sleep tomorrow night, I can easily get things wrapped and put under the tree..
Unless of course someone wants to be kind and take them for a car ride!
today I played around on making some mint candies which were posted by Jessica on Facebook.. Wow they are sweet but good and just a simple recipe..
3 ounces cream cheese
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon mint extract

Mix cream cheese and extract in bowl.. Once mixed gradually add in powdered sugar reserving about half cup.
Roll into small balls than roll balls in reserved sugar (I think you can use regular sugar to roll in as well) and than press down with a fork (or your thumb)

Simple and easy to make but sweet!

I'm going to try a second batch with almond extract.. so we shall see how they come out.
