**Christmas Treats** {12.21.2022}
Today I’m sharing a couple of recipes that I love to make at Christmastime. The first one I’m sharing is for these Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cake Bars These are always a hit and a favorite! Addison helped me with melting the butter and stirring it all together. Once you have the cake mix, egg and butter mixed together, you can press it into the bottom of a greased 9×13 dish. This becomes the cookie crust. Then, you will pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Once it’s baked, make sure you have it set to cool completely before cutting.

**North Pole Breakfast** {12.7.2022}
Last week, on December 1st, Elfie arrived!!! This is one of our favorite nights of the year. Typically, on this night, we also have breakfast foods, and it’s just so fun and a great way to kick off the Christmas season! Addison was so excited about her letter from Elfie. He brought her a few gifts. I put out some little twinkle lights and smaller ornaments. I also added in some Nutcrackers. I found the wrapping paper at Target, and it went well with my pink/silver and Nutcracker theme. I also just added in some bottle brush little trees. In the corner, I always add on our past Santa Christmas…
