Christmas time is officially here and I couldn’t be more excited! Christmas with 5 small children is so much fun! We bought two new Christmas trees this year, and lots of new decorations. The Christmas music is on in the background, and we have already started baking our Christmas cookies! I have the Christmas movies all lined up to watch in front of the fire, with plates full of goodies to munch on while we snuggle. Today I am sharing our favorite Christmas treats that we make over and over and everyone loves! I hope you gets lots of inspiration here and find your family’s new favorite Christmas recipes too! Enjoy!
