just to add some more fun to my busy week, mason was the snack friend. and not just the snack friend, but the half-birthday snack friend. i try to do something special for the birthday/half-birthday snack. mason wanted to keep it christmas-y. he and i looked at a few options and he fell in love with these baby jesus in a manger made out of hot dogs.
the problem with these was two part - first they called for peanut butter to make the manger and nuts are a no-no and, second, they needed to be made the morning of because crescents get so 'wrinkle-y' when refrigerated. so at 5am i got up to make 22 of these babies. and mason was so excited that he joined me. i made him promise to take a nap later in the day.
after some testing last night, i figured out a way to use mini-marshmallows instead of the peanut butter. all and all, we were really, really pleased with how these turned out! they even made the preschool facebook page.
happy 4-1/2 birthday, mason! love.
