Candy Making in California

It is always fun to go to Drew's grandparent's house to make Christmas candy.  Drew and his grandpa have it down to a science so it is fun to watch them work while Alden, Grammy and me play and talk.  I am always impressed at how much candy they make in one day and this year was no exception.  Drew and his grandpa made 4 batches of english toffee, 2 batches of rocky road, 2 batches of peppermint bark, 2 batches of peanut brittle, 1 batch of peanut butter bars and 2 rice krispy cakes.   Here are some pictures of our fun day with the grandparents.

Alden loved trying to sneak chocolate chips to snack on.

I am so grateful for family time and the opportunity I had to visit with family over Christmas break.  I love watching Drew with his grandparents and I am so grateful for the opportunities that I get to see them!
