I love the idea of sending adorable photo Christmas cards out. A snapshot of the kids and/or our family just before the upcoming holiday chaos.
It’s festive and popular, but it can add up when you wanna send out cards to everyone in your family, all your friends, the babysitter, the kids friends, etc.
Here’s how I managed to get this done in about a hour!
Snowball fight!!
Well, the storm that the weather people have been forecasting for days finally arrived. It was about 3 hours late. The beginning had me worried that I would have 2 disappointed kids.

Little Chef helping make buffalo chicken dip.
2 Market Day ChicNSteaks (approx 1/2 lb.), cooked, shredded
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. Frank’s Red Hot
1/2 c. Kraft Roka Blue Cheese Dressing
1/2 c. shredded cheese (I use Mexican, taco, or fiesta for a little extra kick)
Place the cream cheese, Frank’s, dressing, and cheese in a 1-1/2 Quart Slow Cooker on high. Stir to blend well.

Serve with tortilla chips and pretzels.
