Snow Day!

Today it snowed, yes I know that it is the end of March almost April and that most people were very angry about this, but I am one of those weird people who love the snow, not driving in it, but playing in it. We went to church and when it was over had lunch, during that time Tom and Jake came over and joined us in playing in the snow. One of my favorite things to do is make snowmen Andrew doesn't like the snow so we don't do many winter activities. So for the first time this season we made a snow man and named him Smithy. Hunter didn't really know what to make of the snow so he enjoyed it until he noticed that snow was cold after that all he wanted to do was cry so our little snow adventure ended and we went back home to hot chocolate and English Toffee. Does it get any better I absolutely love Winter. I should probably mention that part of the tradition is to make the snowman and then destroy him so Smithy meet his untimely end. Well spring is on it's way, well it is supposedly here, but anyway and it also has a lot to offer. I love the smell and look of flowers blooming, the trees coming back to life, the hiking,( I don't have allergies I know this is a bad time for those of you who do.) and the family parties and of course my birthday. I heard that you eventually hate it when your birthday comes around, but for me I still love my birthday and look forward to it every year I still have my inner child in me and I let her out to play all of the time, I believe not denying your inner child keeps you young. At sisters night out a couple of days ago my oldest sister Barbara made a fabulous dish and I want to post the recipe so here it is:

Cream Cheese Chicken Croissant

2 cups of cooked chicken
1 brick of cream cheese
1 dash of garlic salt
1 can of Pillsbury large croissant rolls

Mix the cream cheese, chicken and the garlic salt in a bowl and set aside.
Open the croissant rolls and roll out flat. Place the mixture in the wide end of the roll and roll like you were making a croissant roll. Place on a baking sheet and if you like you can put a egg wash on. Bake at 375 until Golden brown.
For the sauce you have 2 options. You can use cream of chicken soup-I would mix with milk to make it creamer or my favorite is, Cream of mushroom with a dash of dill weed, make the cream of mushroom with milk also.
