TURTLE-MAKIN'



An annual tradition in the Barry Household is the making of the world famous "turtles." Pop had a new daughter to train this year. Colyn's ears must have been burning all the way back in Texas because she called us during the turtle-making process! We had to promise her we'd bring her some turtles when we're back in Texas for Christmas!



Here are Pop and Yulia heating up the caramel. There was still snow left on our porch, so we didn't even have to use the freezer to chill the candy!




The next night Mom and Yulia made chocolate covered pretzels. Mom forgot some of the pretzels were in the outdoor "snow freezer" and left them out all night. They were certainly frozen, and a bit wet. We'll just have to eat those ourselves.


We're headed to Texas Saturday to celebrate Christmas. Wishing everyone a safe and Merry Christmas!

Love, The Barrys
