Oreo Cheesecake Bites

So here I am with another pinterest dish I tried. These are call Oreo Cheesecake Bites. Mmmmmmm.........And they were the bomb diggity! Haha

 You will need: 36 Oreos
                         4 tablespoons butter
                        4 package of cream cheese at room temp.
                        1 cup of sugar
                        1 cup sour cream
                         1 teaspoon of vanilla
                        4 large eggs

Preheat oven to 325
Then take 24 oreos and crush them and add them with the room temperature butter and press it in a foil lined 9x13 baking dish
In a large bowl mix cream cheese and sugar together, add sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Then add one egg at a time and mix well after each egg. Then chop the rest of your oreos and mix in with the mixture and pour over the crust.
Bake for about 40 mins. I acctually think 40 is to much so 30-35 would be plenty.

This is what you crust will look like before you add your filling.

This is what you have after the filling is added and bakes.
I had good intentions on cutting cute bitesize pieces out but our family just dug in cheesecake style. It was heavenly and I made my self sick on it. It is very rich and creamy. But a little goes a long way!!

So another pinterest meal has passed my familys picky bellies!! Woohoo

 

What a crazy month....

 

 

 

This month has been full of parades, school Christmas prgrams and school parties. (Ooh and lots of sickness) The first part of the month was our local town's Christmas parade. The preschool that Caden attends had a float in the parade and so he got to join in on the ride. Although it took alot of bribing to get him on. He is very clingy with his dad and me. But he rode like a big boy and even threw us some candy when he saw us!!

 

 Case was waiting to see his lil bro on the float.

 Then later on in the month they perform a singing for us. It was so cute and they did awesome. My little guy didn't feel the greatest so he didn't get all into it like he had previous times. You can see in his little face he doesn't feel well.

 Then on to decorate gingerbread house. And he really didn't want to do that either. He just wanted to go home.

 But he did his best and we left early and went to see the doctor and found out he had a ear infection. Poor lil fella no wonder he felt so bad. But we are better now because of antibiotics and ear drops.

 Then is was Case's turn for a Christmas party. Case had a blast with all his buddies from school.

 

So that was us in party mode for most of December. But with tomorrow being Christmas Eve and then the special day of Christmas it will be party mode again!!!

 

These boys mean the world to me. I cannot imagine the pain some parents are feeling during this week with not having the children with them. I pray for them everyday and I pray for their strength to carry on their faith that one day they will be with them precious children again. Ever since the Conn. shooting I have cuddled and hugged my boys more.



Case is 8!!!!

This is how we celebrate a birthday!

Case turned 8 today! *sniff sniff*

So Caden and I went and had lunch with him at school today. He was totally surprised by our arrival. Then we came back home and baked him some cupcakes. I decorated the cupcakes monster style. With googly eyes and green icing!

 This one is the birthday boys! He has a candle for a nose! LOL

 8 years old

 Oh and I made him homemade pizza! One half Canadian bacon/pepperoni and one half supreme. It was so dang yummy.

Happy Birthday to my little Case! I can't believe you are 8. You have been such a joy to us. We love you very much.
