Christmas baking day – 2012

Every year my mom, sisters & I get together one day in December to do some major Christmas baking. As the grandchildren have been born, they have joined in the fun (or at least joined in for a little while, otherwise Grandpa is a great entertainer!).

We had our baking day last Saturday. The boys joined me for the day out at my parents’ house. Our baking plans changed a little bit this year, due to Colton’s peanut allergy, but it was fun trying out some new recipes!

After naps, my boys & my 2 nephews each got a sugar cookie to decorate. This was the boys’ second time decorating cookies & it went about the same as the first time – put a little frosting on the cookie, put a little frosting in my mouth, pour a TON of sprinkles on top, repeat! They had a blast decorating & playing together. This is a tradition that I hope they continue to enjoy being a part of as they grow older.
