Christmas Tree Waffle Cones!

For Unto Us a Child is Born!

Merry Christmas! (a few days late but... who's counting?)

M2 Had a Blast Playing with the Christmas Lights!



M2 - 3.5yrs She looks so grown up!

Our Favorite Christmas Craft this Year:
Waffle Cone Christmas Trees

Supplies
Waffle Cones
Frosting
Food Coloring
Coconut
M&Ms 
Small Christmas Decorating Candies
Mini Marshmallows
Red Icing 

1. Setup - we used a big cookie sheet to contain the mess 
but also make it all visible to the kids to pick from


 2. The Process - Color the icing and frost the trees then DECORATE!





So what all candies did we use:
M&M
Coconut
Mini Marshmallows (the really little ones)
Christmas Sprinkles
Cinnamon Candies



Even M2 got in on the action!








Once all the cones were done we used the red icing with a round tip to create a garland (this is obviously not necessary but I think it helped to make them all look a little more uniform together...)




She gave me a crazy look... But she is really proud of these! We put them on a tray and used coconut as snow! They have lasted the entire Christmas Season as our Center Piece on our Table!! Thanksgiving to New Years and I am sad to think it is almost time to throw them out! Maybe I can put them outside for the Birds...!
