Christmas Bake Sale: Raising $ For Charity

In our home we love Christmas! It is my most favorite time of year. I've always loved Christmas lights. I remember as a little kid driving to the city close to where we lived to look at lights. Every year my dad would do a different theme of lights and normally put some design on our roof. A few years ago when we moved to our current  house I got the idea to really do it up. So, each year we add more lights, decorations and colors. As our lights grew so did the amount of people driving by to see our crazy house. Last year the boys came up with the idea to sell hot chocolate and cookies and use the money to buy Christmas presents for local kids in need. So, with the weather being so great for this time of year we decided to throw it together. The boys were each in charge of a sign and all helped make treats. We made Rudolph Rolo Pretzels. I love these because they are easy (my 6 year old put them together by himself) and super tasty. You can find the recipe here:

We made sugar cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered Oreos and Mickey mouse oreos. Find the tutorial here:

We then bagged everything up, tied it with a cute ribbon and headed out. The evening was a success! The boys can't wait to go pick up presents with money they earned.
