Here is our Friday night peanut butter crew. Jens spent about an hour rolling and then re- rolling his peanut butter chocolates.
We (Granny, Jenny, Angie, Andre, my Mom, Aaron, Hoopsie, Becky, and all the kids!) all met at Julie's house Saturday morning and immediately got to work. Jenny, Julie, and I were the molders. Granny does all the cooking. Hoopsie and Donny stir the fondant. And my Mom, Andre, Aaron, and Angie are the dippers. We dipped caramels, turtles, peanut butter, cherry cordial's, toffee, peanut clusters, almond joy, and orange cream's. The house has to be kept cold in order for the chocolate to set up, so on top of working hard you are also freezing all day long! We had a surprise visit from the Harrison clan in the afternoon, and it was so nice to have their help. We dipped fifty pounds of chocolate! It's a crazy day, but when it is all said in done, it's a day we all look forward to! It is also very nice to have delicious chocolate's to give to family and friends (and to eat ourself)!
The dipping team!

Hard at work...
We appreciated BreAnna for all of her help with Brilee.
Jake kept Brilee most of the day, but he had to come visit often. Every time he would walk in he would have Brilee in his coat. 
We even got the kids to help...or not help!
All those pizza boxes are filled with chocolates.

You are an awesome homemaker! Good job!!! I think that I will do a Christmas dinner here on the Wed. before Christmas. Will that work for you guys?
Sounds so yummy! Can I have your recipes? I don't know how to make fun things like that! :)
