Christmas Fun

Here are some glimpses of our Christmas merriment:

These Chocolate & Cranberry Rolls from Trader Joe’s are SO GOOD!  In the store, they were toasting them up and putting a little butter on them.  I would suggest you do the same.

I made 48 reindeer cupcakes for a kids’ Christmas party.  This was my original, based on an idea found on Pinterest.  It looked kind of goofy, so I modified it to this:

Much cuter, no?

We visited this house at 2351 Caper Tree Drive in Tustin after reading an article in the OC Register about the over-the-top decorations.  You have to see this guy’s garage:

CRAZY!  He collects canned food for donations, which I thought was a nice gesture. 

Watching the kids ooh and aah over the little details together really warmed my heart.  k even put her arm around n while they were talking about everything, and it was just too cute. 

The house is on a cul de sac, and a few of the other houses have pretty impressive displays as well, including one that is synchronized to music.  If you are in the area, I suggest you check it out.
