Candy Day

Every year, we make candy using recipes from my Great Grandma Cullen. My mom always lays out the rules: have all your ingredients ready before you start, butter your pan FIRST, slow stirring to avoid splashing the side of the pan, constant stirring for perfect candy. All these rules keep a candy maker glued to the stovetop while the candy is cooking. Good thing Grandma Nicoll was there to play with the babies so we could get our candy making on!
We arrived at DeeDee's after the Darling Doubles Christmas party, and had to take a pic with the tree

Lovin' all the Christmas red!

Callie gave a wonderful dance performance while the adults sang Jingle Bells

Check out those dance moves!
