{advent calendar, snowmen, an elephant, the best muffins ever...}

Finished making our advent calendar. I'm so done with the traditional red/green Christmas colors.



We made some t-paper roll snowmen.



Such a simple thing - a snowman made out of cardboard - yet I love it so much.



T-paper roll elephant.



Love, love, love this crayon/glitter watercolor/acrylic paint fingerprints snowman.



Saw this online and I had to make one to see if I could do it.



Delicious Muffins

2 cups (5dl) all-purpose flour

1 cup (2,5dl) sugar

2 tsp (10ml) baking soda

2 tsp (10ml) cinnamon

1/4 tsp (1-2ml) salt

2 cups (5dl) carrots, shredded

(I buy mine already shredded to save my fingers)

1/2 cup (125ml) raisins

2 apples, shredded or finely chopped

3 eggs

2 bananas, mashed

2 tsp (10ml) vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease or line 20 muffin cups with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the carrots, raisins and apples.

In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla. Stir the egg mixture into the carrot/flour mixture, mixing just until moistened.

Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

Try not to eat too many. :)
