Candy Making Day 120509

One of our family Christmas traditions that started with my Mother In Law Lois Behrmann was to have the members of the family, that could, come to her home and make candy all day on one saturday in December. Well she has been gone for a lot of years but the tradition still continues with her daughters. Today was the day we did it this year. Look below for a little insight into what happens on

Candy Making Day.

The grandchildren even come and sometimes help but usually just have a great time playing at grandma's house.

Everyone brings their own favorite recipes and each help make candy, usually having several being made at the same time depending on the need for the stove.

Pulling the candy takes just about everyones help. And it even turns into a contest sometimes to see who cab gets theirs the pulled the best.

Here are some of the candies that were made today.

And the grandchildren were still playing. They like the decorations that play tunes over and over and over and over, especially when the two year olds are pushing the buttons.

Here is wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas Season and I hope you all document your families traditions.

Merry Christmas

Time is just too short anymore.

I really wish I had more time to do things that I like but sometimes I just have to fit it in with other activities. So while Utah was getting beat by BYU I was with Marie taking family pictures for a family in Heber, Utah. When the lady called to set the appointment she told me it was at a barn so I was not sure what to expect but after getting there I found a place where I could have done family pictures all day long. It had the barn but also a pond with waterfalls, a row of pine trees, two bridges over the pond, large rocks, and hay stacked in the barn. We ended up using almost all of those places as well. Then however as we were we found an old truck and an old tractor that would have also been quite fun to put the children in and on. I then also noticed Timpanogos Mountain and could see the Indian Princess laying there once more. I have always thought that the mountain looked more like a princess from the Heber valley side than it does from the Utah Valley side.




This is just one of the young ladies that were part of the family. It was pretty fun and I really did love the area.

And here is one of the boys on the John Deere tractor. He just loved it.
