Candy Making Queens

On Saturday, Mom, Brooke, Lauren, Mama Joan, and I gathered at my house to have our annual Christmas Candy making day. We usually gather at Aunt Marla's, because she has the biggest, and most accommodating kitchen, but she couldn't join us this year (she had to attend the funeral of a 4 year old little girl...so heart breaking).
Mama Joan spent the majoruty of the day dipping the carmel clusters to make millionaires.
Mom showing off the goods as she pulled them from the fridge where they had been cooling.

"drop" candies on the counter setting up...yes, we make enough candy to send an entire army into a diabetic coma...but we share with a lot of people as well. Home made Christmas Candy makes a great gift!

We have to lay out and label all the containers before we begin divying out the goods...don't want to leave anyone out!

On a side note...we were all thrilled to see how relaxed my new brother-in-law is with the family...he assumed they usual male position while the queens make candy, on the couch, watching some sort of sports programing...MEN, grrrr!
