It is no secret that we love baking in this house. Every Christmas we bake lots of goodies to send to neighbors, friends, and family. It's a tradition that we all love. Now that the kids are a little older, they help me with the baking. Though their "helping" may nearly double my time in the kitchen, we are making memories that I will cherish forever. I hope one day they too will look back on these times with fondness.

| Leighton's plate to take to work. |
We didn't take too many pictures this time. There was too much to do! We made
no-bake cookies,
sour cream cookies, white chocolate covered Oreos, milk chocolate covered Oreos,
spritz cookies in trees and wreaths, brownies, fudge, and
peanut butter bars. Whew, all in one day! I washed the dishes probably 5 times. For one thing, I don't like to work in a cluttered mess. For another thing, I don't have much room in the kitchen. I keep telling Leighton I want a bigger kitchen with lots of counter space for Christmas. So far, no such luck.
I didn't include the recipes this time since there would be 7 and take up a lot of space. If there's one that you would like, just let me know. Happy Baking!
* UPDATE*
We've since added some recipes. Those are now linked.
