Chocolate Lovers!

So today my sisters, my mom and I did some holiday baking. We each come up with 1-2 things to make and pass out to friends, Home teaching families, people we visit teach, etc. We have a lot of fun remembering past baking experiences, crying, laughing, all while listening to our favorite Christmas music.

Well last year I attempted to make Peanut Butter fudge, because Jonathan loves it so. And his mom makes the best, so I tried it and totally failed. It turned out like a cake! :) I was so sad, so this year I went on cooks.com (it is my new favorite thing) and got an easy fudge recipe. So I tried it today, I mean honestly how can you fail with only 5 ingredients. Well it is amazing and too die for, so for all you chocolate lovers out there here is my new favorite fudge recipe.

EASY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE FUDGE
1 (12 oz) pkg. peanut butter flavor chips
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. chopped peanuts (optional)
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate morsels

In large saucepan, melt peanut butter chips, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk and 2 tablespoons butter, stir occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in peanuts. Spread mixture into wax paper-lined 8-inch square pan.

In small saucepan, melt chocolate morsels, remaining condensed milk and butter. Spread chocolate mixture on top of peanut butter mix. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Tightly cover any leftovers. Yummy! I left out of the peanuts, but if you love them then go ahead and add them! Enjoy! Happy holidays!

1 month!

So it has been 1 month since Luke was born and it has been a whirl wind of craziness in the Biggs family. In the midst of having Luke I have also had to finish the semester. I don't know how I did or made it through but the semester is over, thank heavens. Can I get a alleluia?

This past month has flown by so fast because all the days are running together at this point with no sleep, barely finding time to eat, get a shower, and my house has gone by the wayside. Now can I ask how do we do it all? :) What was I thinking?

But at the end of the day it is all worth it because I am truly grateful to be a mother of three beautiful and healthy children. So I want to give a shout out to the women in my life my mom, mother-in-law, sisters, sister-in-laws,aunts, girlfriends, Grandmothers, and great-grandmothers thank you, thank you. You are truly amazing!

Family Pictures 2008!

So this year we had someone take our family pictures outside and she did an amazing job. This was her first time professionally taking pictures of families and she was awesome and allowed us to choose whatever shots we wanted. It was so cold on the day of our photo shoot, but definitely worth it. My mom of course wanted an entire group shot of the whole family and it is so hard to make every grandchild to look at the camera. But here are some crazy pics of the Bittle/Biggs/Choate/Revell family:

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a large group of about 20 people for Thanksgiving this year at my parent's home. It was such a wonderful day and beautiful weather. The food was absolutely amazing. It was our first year to deep fry a Turkey, oh man was it delicious. I made my double layer pumpkin pie and a yummy Crumble Apple pie that is so to die for. We ate leftovers for days. Everything was so yummy! We also made a large leave pile and took some pictures. It was so great to spend Thanksgiving with friends and family. We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too.
