Last night I attended a Christmas party for my Bible study group.  The hostess, Jaime, made these candy canes.  I brought some home with me and this morning we had them with our coffee...

This was how Madalyn had hers- in hot cocoa, of course.

This was how Jack had his. 

Evan was at school already, but he's not a huge fan of candy canes anyway.

About an hour later, we pulled out the dip I took last night and Jack thought he was the coolest when he was allowed to dip his own crackers:

Then, when Madalyn and I turned our backs, he got a little out of control...

Ohhh, that's right, boy!  You are SOOO BUSTED!  Get off that table!  GET!

But the dip- back to the dip- the dip is the best hot dip you'll ever put in your mouth.  (I just said dip four times in one sentence.)
