It Christmas time people. Break out the oreos!

I found this wonderful holiday treat online.

Oreo bark!

Oreos + white chocolate = rich & creamy goodness.

I made two pans during thanksgiving week and it was so good!

I think this would be great for all those holiday parties, the neighbors or just for yourself to eat!

Preparation: Line an 8×8 pan with enough parchment or wax paper for a 1 inch overhang on each side.

• 10oz. Ghirardelli white chocolate chips
• 15 regular size Oreos, plus 3 more for topping

Instructions:

1. Place chocolate in a double boiler over low heat and stir continuously, until chocolate is completely melted. Transfer chocolate to a heat proof bowl and cool for 5 minutes. Add chopped Oreos and stir to combine. Pour mixture into pan. Use a spatula to smooth out top.
2. Finely chop remaining Oreos and sprinkle on top. Chill for about 10 minutes until chocolate becomes solid.
3. Lift whole bark out of pan by holding onto parchment or wax overhang. Split bark into pieces with a fork.

Recipe found here.

Happy Saturday!

Festival of lights!

So this Monday Night for FHE we went to the wild animal park for their annual "Festival of lights". This is the last year it will be here. Next year it will be at the Zoo. BTW - these are all took with my great camera!
We got there about 3:00 and waited in line for about 1 1/2 to go on their new "Journey into Africa". (It's like what they have instead of the tram). It really makes you feel like you're in Africa!

The Nutcraker!

One of my Favorite christmas storys is the Nutcraker. Now i dont want to copy my mom's blog post about the story of the nutcraker so you can read what she wrote about it for yourself. Read it here : http://happyhartz.blogspot.com/ go down a couple of posts and you will find it. Each year at our local performing arts center they have a pourduction of the Nutcraker. I love going to it each year and it is amazing that it it put on by kids who go to a local dance academy. I don't have pictures of a few weeks ago when we went to the Nutcraker but here are some pictures from a few years ago after the performence of the Nutcraker.
This is one of my favorite charecters in the play!

I love the lights,the Christmas tree's,making cookies,being with family,singing in Christmas choirs,reading Christmas stories , wrapping Christmas present's, leaving presents and cookies on friends doors anonymously, being grateful i know what the true meaning of Christmas is, listening to Christmas music, going caroling and everything you could think of! I have so many memories of Christmas! I will post more about Christmas because i love this time of the year!
