Ward Christmas Dinner
We went to our Ward Christmas dinner last weekend.Michael and Naomi both thought they were more excited than the other to see Santa.
The Primary put on a pageant. Gwen and Kelly were angels and Michael was...
...a sheep.
Since we didn't get a good picture of him on the stage (that is the back of his head up there), I sent him to Stan for more pictures. I think he just wanted to get out of his lacy pillowcase :)

Michaelisms
Overheard just now, Michael talking to Mo, "You are not my boss or my mother, so you can't boss me around."
This afternoon, I was driving home from picking Rachel up from school and Michael said,"We are about eleven yards from home."
I said (because we were about a quarter of a mile from home), "We are a little further away than that."
Thirty seconds later he said it again and I told him, "Not yet."
As we pass our next door neighbor, he announced, "Now we are one yard from home," and I told him, "We are actually about eleven yards from the garage."
He said, "No, not like yardsticks! Like FRONT YARDS!"

A Recipe for You
Here is something yummy and easy to make for your Christmas parties and treat plates...
I put sprinkles on this batch because I took it to Michael's Kindergarten/1st Grade party and have this idea that kids like sprinkles on everything, but they are optional.
The following recipe makes enough to cover 8-15 cups of popcorn, depending on how thick you like the chocolate. That is the same as 1-2 bags of microwave popcorn, or 1/2-one batch of air popped corn (at least from our popper). If you use microwave popcorn, I'd suggest using "Light' instead of "Butter". I'm not sure how well the chocolate would stick to the buttery kind, but you could always try it and eat the whole batch yourself if it is too sticky ;)
It is a good idea to shake all the old maids (unpopped kernels) in your bowl of popcorn to the bottom and move all the good popcorn to another bowl (make it a big one because you will need room to stir).
Then, pulverize two regular sized candy canes in a zip lock bag. It will make about 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of crushed candy cane.
Melt the candy coating in the microwave, stirring after a minute and then returning it to the microwave to melt it some more if needed.
Dump the candy cane powder in the chocolate, mix well and pour it over your popcorn. Stir it until the popcorn is evenly coated.
It is best if you let it cool before you eat it, otherwise, your hand will look this!

Next, measure one cup of white chocolate candy coating. I like Guitard A'Peels.
Then, pulverize two regular sized candy canes in a zip lock bag. It will make about 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of crushed candy cane.
Melt the candy coating in the microwave, stirring after a minute and then returning it to the microwave to melt it some more if needed.Dump the candy cane powder in the chocolate, mix well and pour it over your popcorn. Stir it until the popcorn is evenly coated.
