Birthday Selfies!

On December 9th we celebrated Amanda’s birthday.

A few of us squeezed in to photo bomb her birthday selfie, including this little cutie who was giving Glammy Eskimo Kisses.

It has always been a December practice to wait until Amanda’s birthday has been celebrated before decorating for Christmas.

On Monday of this week, the decorating began.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Two of my trees are in place.

Most of my decorating is done.

A BIG thanks to LB for all that he does to help.

And thanks to Elvis for doing his part

Wendy’s Chocolate Éclair Cake

The holiday festivities at work have begun.  I know this because everyone is bringing goodies to work.

Last week Wendy brought her famous Chocolate Éclair Cake.  Reminiscent of an Éclair, it it made with graham crackers, pudding, cool whip, and [believe it or not] canned chocolate frosting. This is how she makes it:

 

Chocolate Éclair Cake

  • Servings: 20
  • Time: 30 mins
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients

  • 2 packages instant French vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip topping
  • 1 box graham crackers
  • 1 can dark chocolate frosting

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
  2. Line bottom of a 9-inch x 13-inch pan with a single layer of graham crackers. Pour half the pudding mixture over the crackers and spread evenly.
  3. Top with another layer of crackers. Pour the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of crackers and top with a third layer of crackers.

  5. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight. Serve chilled and store covered in the refrigerator.

      Thank you my friend!

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
