Christmas baking – 2011

On Sunday, the boys & I packed up after breakfast and headed over to my parents’ house for our annual ‘Christmas baking day’ with my mom & sisters. The boys actually joined me last year as well and even helped with some stirring, but slept most of the time. (On a side-note, our annual baking day last year was one day after a huge snowstorm dropped a ton of snow in the area – practically paralyzing all traffic & even making some of the country roads out near my parents un-passible.)

Both of my sisters and my two nephews were able to make it over this year! We baked Christmas goodies all day while the little boys helped a bit, played a bit & slept a bit. Grandpa was the key entertainer for short periods of time here-and-there, as to allow us girls some kid-free baking time.

The boys had a fun day and were in total amazement every time someone started up the mixer. They love being “big helpers” in the kitchen with mommy. I had a blast spending the day with family & doing something that I love (but don’t have much time for these days) – baking!
