Some overdue photos

From Thanksgiving.


It was nice to spend some quality time with family.








We also followed the Parma family holiday tradition of making chocolates for friends and family. First you have to assemble all your supplies, and melt all the chocolates in crockpots and double boilers.




Then you just start sculpting and dipping.







When you're finished with a set of chocolates, you put 'em in the freezer. Or even in the ice maker if you're running out of space.



Then when they've hardened, you drop 'em on wax paper until the end of the day when you wrap them up in baggies for friends. The shape choices are endless.









And sometimes, when your friends aren't looking, you maybe sneak a bite.




It was a fun trip! Thanks to my brother's family and Rosa's brother's family for all your wonderful generosity.
