This is it

The "too sweet to contain all the goodness" post =)

First off, my friend's son

Then we've got a pile 'o ready to exchange treats

Pizza Topping Leftovers

Leftovers from another direction (Chelsey's punch was a hit, too!!)

Let's get to the good stuff...

First up, Chelsey's Saskatoon Berry Mini Tarts

(all treat names made up by yours truly!)

Next we've got

Donna's Divine Cranberry & Pistachio White Chocolate Bark

and Jordana's Chewy Chocolate & Coconut Crave-worthy Cookies

Dori's Delectable Fudge

(the saddest part, to me anyways, was that Dori's diabetic,
so she's not used to a lot of sweets and she couldn't even
stand to eat her fudge as it was too sweet for her!
Thankfully, her husband and I will take care of that for her.
That's what we're here for. We're good that way.)

Palmer's PB Cup Cookies
(in my oh so original ziplocs since I refused to leave my house on the weekend)

Shelly's Rolls o' Love Rolo Cookies

(Shelly & I had the same brilliant storage idea, I see!)

Lisa's Lucious Chocolate Chip Cookies

Brennsi Brittle

(Brenna named it herself - this is the only title I can't claim credit for)

Also, at the top left, Grace's Goodness Gracious Goodies

(amazing what a pretzel, rolo and pecan can do for the tastebuds)

and in the top right, Jocelyn's Leftover Candy Cookies

(which freaking rock - what a wonderful idea to use those mini toblerones, hershey kisses, etc)

Bonnie's Tantalizing Tarts (butter & mincemeat)

Scrumptious Skor Bars by Jennifer

(that's what they tast like to me, anyways....yummerific!)

Gingeroos by Querida

(They're the chewiest, softest ginger cookies,
so MrP was more than happy to eat a hefty serving)

And in this box....

(which wouldn't stay shut - all the goodness popping out,
but making me much less grumpy than my dough follies)

all the deliciousness of...

Mint Nanaimo Bars!

(they even kinda match my teapot!)

What a wonderful bunch of treats. Too much deliciousness for one post....I know!!

Imagine how my thighs feel, being forced to endure all this for breakfast =)

Finally, my humble opinion on Invictus. We got a screening pass for this movie from one of MrP's coworkers who has an 'in' somewhere and since I'm always up for a free movie (and had seen the preview and wanted to see it regardless), we went last night.It's phenomenal. This true story is one that I hope everyone has a chance to see. Based on the book "Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation" by John Carlin, it's about the newly elected Mandela in his racially and economically divided South Africa post apartheid. Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon were incredible. Go check it out. Do it Friday! =)
