Family traditions are a big part of our Christmas. Daddy makes fantastic cookies, the kids make special decorations, we light the advent candles and Santa falls down the chimney little by little every day until Christmas. We also started a new tradition, The Elf on the Shelf, last year. We didn't realize what hard work it is to keep up with the elf every single night. There aren't that many places to put him in our house so we had to get very creative. It's a really fun activity and it keeps the kids on their toes. New traditions can be just as special as old traditions because all of them make the holidays so wonderful.
Our main entree is a waffle sandwich. We spread peanut butter on two waffles, added a little honey, then sandwiched them together. We used a big snowflake cookie cutter to cut it out and added a Christmas tree pick to the top.
Our protein side is turkey bacon. We rolled it up a little bit so that it looks like Christmas ornament balls, or at least that was the thought. ☺
Our fruit side is red and green grapes. These may not be the regular bright red and green of Christmas but they work for us.
Finally, our dessert is strawberry cheesecake yogurt. We wanted to give Molly something extra special and we think that this will fit the bill. We added a few sprinkles because they have gotten rave reviews lately.
*We had to share a fun Christmas themed dessert that Molly's little sister is bringing to preschool tomorrow. We arranged cupcakes into a Christmas tree shape, then decorated them with frosting and cute little Christmas light bulb rings.
ps - Molly's Daddy came up with a great way to get these to school since the lid to the cupcake holder would've squished a few of the cupcakes. He created a cardboard "border" and covered it with foil. Just call him MacGuyver!
