Of Reindeers and Popcorn

Another tradition we do every year is to put out food for Santa's reindeer. Miranda enjoys this thoroughly! My sister-in-law, Sherri, took these pictures for me while I got things ready to make Santa's snack. I think she did a fantastic job!

After she put the food out, we set out to make a snack for Santa. I didn't really want to do cookies this year as it's so ordinary and I was pretty sure 'Santa' was sick of cookies. So, I tried out a recipe I found on Pinterest! (I love that website!) It was called Christmas Popcorn and considering the only ingredient I needed to buy was some white chocolate chips, I was all in! It's super easy and it was yummy, although very sweet.

Finished product!!

Thanks again to Sherri (and I believe Adam took some too) for taking over the camera. It's nice to have me included in some of the pictures even though I hate being in front of the camera. 

Also, here is the recipe for Christmas Popcorn if anyone is interested.
