Popcorn-istas

Amy, Grandma Jane and me ( i look like a mammoth, ewww)

I'm sure each of your grandma's has some kind of food or treat she makes the No one can make like they do, or even come close. Well, same goes for my sweet adorable Grandma Jane. She has a few actually, but the best known is her famous Popcorn Balls. ohhh manny! These things are heaven, you're probably thinking, popcorn balls, serously? All I say to that is, dude, don't bag it till you try it! It's these grandma-made treats that all of us grandkids begged to get for our birthdays and many of us, even the ones pushing 40, still do. They're that good.

Usually we only get them once a year, grandma always pulls out her guns and makes a few batches of goodness for Christmas, but this year was special becuase yesterday Grandma gave us popcorn ball making lessons. As I'm sure you know all too well, it's one of those things that turns out perfect everyime Grandma makes it, but it's just never the same when you try.

My cousin Amy was in town and we were determined to learn all of grandma's tricks. They turned out perfect and delicious!!!... probably cuz Grandma made them. I haven't attempted them on my own yet, but I'm hopeful! As soon as I get it down I'll share and then you'll understand.

this is Macey, with a big yawn, and Amy's 4 month old Rigdon, bit of a size difference!

This is what happens at family dinners when you think the kids are innocently playing but are really sneaking gumballs galore from the gumball machine.

notice the wad of chewed gum in grants hands stacy found on her closet floor

storing sucked on gumballs in your shirt pocket could be a creative but sticky way to tie dye
