Birthday Chex Mix

Well, I cannot believe it but my lil munchkin is now a three-year-old!  She is getting so big and grown up.  She talks non-stop, and is one of the most curious people I know.  As if that wasn't enough she is now registered for pre-k in the fall!

Each year we do a big birthday bash at the house, and this year ended up being no different.  The theme was "Once Upon A Birthday", and centered around the princess that she is.  The little ones had a blast with bubbles.  We had pulled pork, a baked potato bar, and much more; however, when my grandma asked what she could bring I had just the idea...

Munchkin and I went over to her house and made about 3 gallons of chex mix!

Grandma always makes tons of chex at Christmas time, and it is one of my favorite things.  I've been trying to find the opportunity to make it, and this was a perfect excuse.  Little did I know I would not have to do a thing but stand back and watch Munchkin and Grandma do all the work...

Grandma measured, she poured...

HEY GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF THERE!

No matter how hard I try what good is baking without a little taste test?

They both stirred...

Once it baked not even I was prepared for the massive pour!


And, of course, there was more taste testing...


The Chex turned out to be a huge hit at the party!  I cannot thank my grandma enough for the help, and lesson in making it.  No matter how busy or tired she is she always goes out of her way to make her 5 kids, 13 grand-kids, and 12 (soon to be 15) great-grand-kids happy.  THANK YOU GRANDMA!

After a small (accidental) dip in the bubble pool we had a wardrobe change.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUNCHKIN! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
