These are scrapped memories from a weekend with my best friend and her husband. She celebrates Hannukah (and now Christmas) and I celebrate Christmas and we have been getting together for years to make goodies for the holidays. The one staple is coated pretzels.

We had a small microwave fire and I didn't want that memory lost, but I didn't want it in-my-face either, so a picture and some journaling is on a tag labelled 'christmas miracle' and tucked behind a picture. I actually moved it from where it was in the scan to behind the journaling block. I thought the ribbons filled the space under the title a bit and it just looked better.

I wish I had had a picture of my children that showed that DD's feet were a good 6&quot; off the ground. She's only up to DS's chin!

Journaling: I no longer remember exactly what year it was, but years ago .... and I started making chocolate covered pretzels together for the holidays. As we’ve grown older, the tradition has changed. It’s made it’s way from ... to .... It now includes spouses and children. The goodies vary from year to year. We don’t manage to get together every December but we try to. And we don’t only make chocolate covered pretzels but they are the one thing we always do. This year ... and ... came up on Saturday but we didn’t get to baking until Sunday. We kicked off our holiday baking on Sunday before Sunday school. We had a small microwave fire while I was melting coating for the pretzels! But ... soldiered on and got a lot of coated pretzels done while I was out at Sunday School with the kids. I taught ... how to coat pretzels and he taught ... , going so far as to lift her off the ground so she could see what she was doing. In addition to the pretzels, we made two kinds of biscotti - chocolate chip/candy cane and double chocolate - and wrapped up the weekend by making colored, flavored kettle corn. ~December 11, 2005
