Okay, so I found this (simple) awesome recipe on Kraftfoods.com for truffles!!! I didn't know that you could MAKE truffles-- at least not without HOURS of work. I tried three different kinds. . . Oreo, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Raspberry Chocolate (my favorite!). I am not much of a cook, but these were easier to make than I imagined and turned out rather well, even the first time. Perfect for Christmas treats!!! Here are the recipes: http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/chocolate-peanut-butter-truffles-55254.aspx http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/simply-sensational-truffles-107529.aspx http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/easy-oreo-truffles-95085.aspx

Hidden Treasures
This is one of my very favorite things about being a mom-- it always makes me smile!!! I opened the fridge yesterday and this is what I found:
I guess my girls need their own play kitchen. ;0) I also love sticking my foot in my shoe and finding a little toy, or taking the cover off of my sewing machine and finding hidden buttons throughout. I love how kids minds work and I love seeing their creative play!!! Thank goodness for those hidden treasures- it makes up for all the craziness they create (sometimes ;0).

Four Month Check Up
Kendi had her 4 month check up the other day. Any guesses on how much she weighs? Only 11 pounds, 12 ounces!!! She is a light-weight. But other than that, healthy, healthy. She is eating cereal pretty well now, but unfortunately it isn't helping her sleep any better. We still get up 2 or 3 times a night together. . . (sigh). Any suggestions on better sleeping habits would be great.

Progress!
I love it when I see little signs that my girls are progressing! Today we had our primary program in sacrament meeting. The girls both had parts, of course. And Kira, who a year ago refused to say one word to her teachers, let alone stand up in front of anyone and speak, got up to the microphone, loudly whispered to the Primary President that she didn't need any help, she could do it herself, and then spoke her part word for word from memory perfectly! Yeah! Go Kira! She is becoming such a beautiful, big girl! We are so proud of her!
