Thanksgiving Outtakes!

 We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!  The weather couldn't have been more beautiful.  It was almost 70 degrees so we had the doors and windows open and everyone was playing outside.  It was so nice!  Here are just a few snippets from our day!!!

Addi's Christmas Wish List! 2012

We were at Walmart the other day and I asked Addi what she wants Santa to bring her.  This was her response.  Oh my....I hope Santa has a pile of $$$ saved up!

Yum Yum!

I am posting this for a dessert challenge I found on another blog.  This is seriously the easiest dessert ever and it is yummy!  Guess that's why they call it Yum Yum!

Bag of Original Chips Ahoy cookies (crunchy, not soft)

Container of Cool Whip (thawed)

Glass of milk for dipping

Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (optional)

Dip cookies one at a time in milk for about 3 seconds each (just dip, do not soak them). Layer the bottom of a 9x13” pan with the cookies (it should be half of the bag of cookies). Layer half of the Cool Whip on top of the cookies, and then repeat another layer. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings on top layer of Cool Whip if you wish. I have also crunched up leftover cookies and sprinkled on top.

Cover and refrigerate 2-4 hours or overnight, or freeze and let thaw a bit. Cut into squares and serve.

NOTES: This recipe makes two layers in a 9x13” pan. Double the recipe or make in smaller dish for more layers. More cool whip may be needed (regular size container barely coats two layers).
