Snow!

So, of course I have to do a post about the Snow....what kind of Alabamian would I be if I didn't?

Friday I was sitting at work anxiously awaiting the snow fall.....around 10:00 the pretty white flakes were falling.  By 12:00 I was out the door, due to "potentially icy roads"  I was planning on going home to Alex City, so I rushed home, loaded the car, and picked up Gabe, and off we went.  Traffic was pretty heavy, as I think most everyone was headed home after a half day.  I finally made it home, taking pictures all along the way....

Entrance to where I live-

Elkahatchee Road: (yes, that's the name of the road)

Parent's Driveway:

Now, onto the best part.....Gabe's first snow-  It didn't seem to phase him much.  He treated as anything else....thinking  "hmm, Can I eat this?"

The rest of the weekend I spent resting, baking, and loading pics onto my computer. 

I made Cindy's suggestion of oreo truffles- so good.

1pkg of Double Stuffed Oreos- (crumbled)
1 8oz cream cheese
(Mix together)

Roll into balls- refrigerate overnight

Then- melt chocolate, dip, and drop onto wax paper.....

Yummy!

I also made- Cake balls-

Bake a box cake- whatever kind you would like (I did German Chocolate)

Let cook- then crumble, stir in appropriate icing, roll into balls, refrigerate for an hour or so, then drop into melted chocolate.

These are my favorite!
