Christmas Cereal

A little less enduring and sentimental then my 'Christmas milk' story, but no less cute is the kids favorite new find for the holidays. We where in desperate need of some cereal around here and I decided to be a little more relaxed at the grocer by way of letting my four year old choose what we got this week. As soon as Little Woman spotted the multicolored (green and red) crispy rice cereal I knew there was no going back on my promise. We would, indeed, be eating festive rice crispies that taste very much like regular rice crispies, besides the extra food dye flavor, for the whole week!



As soon as we arrived home Little Woman and Baby Boy teamed up on me and insisted we MUST test them for lunch, to make sure the big kids would like them. As usual the listening to the crispy rice was fun and we all giggled that they where saying 'eat me, eat me' because, of course, that is always what rice crispies say in our house. The taste... well you would think they where eating food meant for a king. Both ate it up as fast as possible oohing and aahing between spoon fulls and Little Woman insisted 'these Christmas cereals are lovely!' Lovely indeed! I say my children and their sweet little worlds of color and joy are even more lovely... lovely enough to win me over on this cereal... I suppose it will be one of our little special traditional treats year after year now.
