It's Christmas Card Season, again!

Alright people...Our Christmas cards are going to be a little bit different this year! Since Shutterfly is giving away 50 free Christmas cards to bloggers, I thought I would jump in on the promo! Last year I literally wrote on every christmas card and it was not a lot of fun. SO we recently got our family pictures done, and i thought what a great opportunity to display them on a cute photo card. Christmas just seems to be coming so fast and I don’t have a lot of time to put into each card this year! You can click here to find out more on how to get your 50 free cards. Caleb is getting so big and I don’t seem to have the time that I used to with keeping up on pictures for the blog! So this way, you will be able to hang us on your fridge and look at us ALL year long☺ Aren’t you excited? Its hard looking through all of the cute designs knowing that I can only pick one but here are a few of my favorites from shutterfly…




We are super excited that it is not snowing yet in good ole Nebraska and hope that winter will stay on the east coast this season!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Chrismas season and that you enjoy our Christmas cards this year! The Lord has been so good to my family and Im excited to celebrate Him this season!

Brie Cheese Appetizer!

Here is the recipe that I used for my brie appetizer! It is from allrecipes.com. I did change a few things (like the preservatives...I used red raspberry instead of apricot and didnt use the egg white.)

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) wheel Brie cheese
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1/2 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg white
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Slice one wheel of Brie cheese in half so you have 2 circles of cheese. Spread apricot or peach preserves on (the cut side) half of one circle of brie. Make sandwich out of the two halves of Brie, so that the preserves are in the center of both halves. Wrap the entire wheel of Brie with one sheet of puffed pastry and flip the entire concoction onto the prepared cooking sheet so the seam is on bottom. Brush the puffed pastry with the egg white.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry in golden brown. Serve immediately.


I served with wheat thins...yum! enjoy!
