School is winding down for 2019! The kid’s last week of school has consisted of Christmas concerts, Christmas movies, and Christmas cupcakes!
Every year we like to hand out little treats to each of the Girl’s classmates. This year because HBear is in middle school, we have decided that if she would like to hand out treats she can do that by her big girl self LOL it kind of sucks for me though because HBear was very agreeable and always liked my ideas. Not so much for SBean LOL I have been throwing different ideas at her for the past few weeks and we have agreed on none of them. I finally came up with an idea that we can both agree on!
Well, not exactly reindeer noses, I’m calling them reindeer noses but SBean is calling it reindeer poop 💩😂.
Once I threw in the red Swedish berry, SBean was over the moon happy with this year’s treat and they were super easy to make!
We filled snack size Ziploc bags with 20 chocolate covered raisins and one Swedish berry. SBean signed all the tags that I printed up from
Rose Bakes and we stapled them onto the top, done!
Each year we try to do homemade gifts for the teachers as well. Not every year because sometimes time just doesn’t allow for it but this year we came up with a great idea! Teachers for us can be quite expensive because we like to recognize the Girl’s dance teachers as well. This year we went to one of our local markets, Summerland Sweets and bought each of the Girl’s teachers a jar of locally made jam! I bought some burlap from the dollar store and we used Christmas tags, ribbon and elastic bands we already had! On each of the tags the Girls wrote, “you are my jam”. Super cute!

SBean lost a tooth last week and this week HBear lost a tooth! Both Girls received their report cards and SBean had a wonderful report card and HBear got all A’s and was awarded a spot on the honour roll! Very proud of both of my beautiful Girls!
Ninja and I took the Girls to Pen High for the annual Toys For Tots To Teens Christmas breakfast. We each brought a new gift and we received a delicious breakfast in return! While we ate we listened to carols being sung by a local elementary school and we all had a great time! It was the perfect way to start our day before school/work!
This weekend we did some Christmas activities like taking time for cuddles, finishing the Christmas shopping and taking the Girls to see Frozen 2.
We made Ninja’s favourite, Sugar Cookies!
We also made SBean’s favourite, Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares and HBear’s favourite, Cocoa Puffed Wheat Squares. I will post the recipe for this delicious treat in the near future!
