We cranked out 36 batches of Kettle Corn (with a little cayenne pepper) for the neighbors. We packaged it up in gigantic ziploc bags with some cute toppers. It took (2) batches of Kettle Corn to fill up each ginormous ziploc bag, so we ended up with 17 bags to give to the neighbors. (Yes, if you did the math, you can safely assume that we ate the other two batches. :)) We all had jobs and worked together for (2+) hours to get everything made and assembled. Jeremiah said, "I like doing this much better since we're doing it for someone else."
It was snowing out - that super-beautiful kind of snow that you love to get in December. We bundled up, loaded up the popcorn onto the sled and tromped over to several of the neighbors' houses. We sang the chorus of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and little Jeremiah stood in the front holding the bag of popcorn out for them to see while we sang and then walked it up to the door while we all yelled "Merry Christmas." It was a great night.

That is such a great idea. There is nothing quite as good as fresh kettle corn. Your going to have to beat the girls off with a broom if you keep putting up pictures of your boys helping in the kitchen!!
OH YOU GUYS!!! How fun!! And EASY. That's right, its a simple idea, love that. Maybe we'll just steal that one. I HAD plans to make stuff for the neighbors, but the cookies never got iced and I ruined the cinnamon bread by forgetting the sugar...alas I will have to steal your idea next year and hopefully not leave out the pepper:). Sounds FUN and, ofcourse, WE MISS YOU.
Hi Tammy. It was good to see you, chris , and the boys over Christmas.
Sounds like your popcorn neighbor delivery worked out better than our pumpkin bread delivery. :-)
See - I do read your blog.
