Merry Christmas Eve!

As a lot of you know I do have to share Brielle. It's not fun especially around holidays. Chirstmas was her fathers this year so I got her Christmas Eve. Boy oh boy did we have fun!

We started the morning at the apartment. Which I debated putting our "beautiful decor" up for the holidays and I am really glad we did. We woke up around 7 a.m. ISH. (Joys of a three year old on what she thinks is Christmas morning) She tore apart those presents so fast and was so excited! What made me most proud is when she said thank you after every gift. Doin' somethin' right!!

Just an FYI I could not get my camera to turn on so these were all taken with my wonderful iPhone4. Like a boss. 

I don't want to over load you so moving on!

We do Chirstmas at my Grandmas every year and she made a special exception and moved her party to Christmas Eve so Brielle and I could both be there. It was so much fun!!!

I did manage to get my camera to work half way during grandmas party

 This picture^^^ So precious. 

 I took 4 takes at this because I thought Ethan was picking his nose. 

 Andddd my parents got Brielle a 500 dollar rabbit fur coat. Rolled my eyes a bit but after using it as a pillow I'm a tad jealous. 

 These two kids <3

This picture as well. We look so happy. I am so excited for our wedding! 

 Oh! My diamond earrings! 

Story time! Once upon a time my adopted parents gave me a pair of diamond earrings (before they had adopted me) and then my biological mother sold them for drug money! Then when I moved in with my adopted parents they bought me another pair. Guess who came for a visit and stole them, again! How nice of her. These are my babies. And they mean so much more to me than just a pair of earrings. Best Christmas ever!

Oreo Diabetic Cake

NO THIS IS NOT FOR IF YOU HAVE DIABETES. THIS WILL CAUSE DIABETES!

That's enough for shouty disclaimers. This was my desert I made for our Thanksgiving. I kept calling it Oreo Diabetic Cake and everyone kept asking why I'd make a cake for diabetics when no one is diabetic. My answer... It is so damn sweet you'll get cancer!! 

All you need is:

2 packs of Oreo's

2 tubs of whip cream

a cup of milk

Chocolate Syrup

Easiest thing you will ever do is make this desert. Dip your Oreo's in milk and line the bottom of a 9x13 pan. 

Using your fingers will break the cookie. Jamming the fork will break the cookie. Trying to wiggle the fork in will break the damn cookie. This was the worst part of the whole thing. 

Being delicate frustrates me.

Next take your first tub of whip cream. Using a plastic spatula spread it around

If you push down ( Just a little bit ) some of the Oreo will break off and make the whip cream really delicious.

Now soak more Oreo's and smear more whip cream. Second layer done. 

Let chill for a good half hour and then cut out a piece and drizzle some chocolate over top of it! 

Stuffed Jalapenos

For Thanksgiving I made stuff Jalapenos. These are a favorite of everyone! 

What you'll need:

4-8 Jalapenos (depending how many people you are feeding)

A little bit of cream cheese

Shredded cheese (we always like sharp cheddar) 

Bacon

Preheat over to about 350

Start by cutting your Jalapenos in half long ways.

Then clean the seeds out! Try to scrape them out with a spoon. If you use your nails the seeds will burn your fingers for days. No joke. It hurts.. 

Next spread cream cheese inside of them with a butter knife.

Very lightly sprinkle the cheese on top. Wrap in bacon. I do use toothpicks but it still works without (I tried)

Throw in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. 

ENJOY!!

So easy and they have been a hit every single time I make them. No one ever believes they are that easy. 

Try them and tell me what you think!
