Rocky Road

Okay so this one is just for me, but if you would like to read it, feel free! :) Rocky Road is part of Christmas with the Gardner family. If we didn't have rocky road it might not quite feel like the holidays. My dad (aka: G-Dawg by all former students) makes this Rocky Road (it is a secret recipe). The week before Christmas this year I was my Dad's elf helper and helped him finish all his candy making for this year. Not kidding--- he makes hundreds and hundreds of plates per year (about 500). (He has also been making it for about the past 17 years... and perfecting it along the way. Everyone loves them! :) One example is that some of our friends stopped by the house on Thanksgiving and their four-year-old daughter exclaimed "Where is the reindeer poop!" She was so excited! (Her mom informed me that she really thinks it is reindeer poop). I love how many people my dad shares with over the holidays. Rocky Road will always be one of my treasured memories of Christmas time! Dad you're the BEST!
