Wonderful White Christmas..

and no I'm not talking about the white stuff falling on the ground
around various parts of the country.

I'm talking about white all purpose flour and baking!!

I LOVE to bake. End of discussion. :)

Of course hubby thinks I am crazy because I will bake a whole pan of brownies and eat one. That leaves the rest for either him to eat or take to work.

He, 99.9% of the time, takes them to work.

However, this is the time of year that I bake most often. I mean.. who doesn't?!

Kaydence is finally old enough to start participating in various activities and somewhat understands what is going on. I would also like to start some family traditions that she can hopefully pass along to her children one day.

I was going to get a gingerbread house kit and then realized she would eat it before it was put together and opted for sugar cookies.
(Either way.. yes I am still crazy trying to do this with an almost 2 year old!)

Here are a few pictures from our baking session. It's the closest this family will come to a White Christmas without taking a vacation up north!

Please forgive the hair. I just threw it up in order to begin.. many years in the restaurant industry and I still can't wear it down while cooking or baking!

She did this all by herself with no encouragement from mommy or daddy!

This is after we laughed that she did it without encouragement.

love love love it! Hannah Kay and I attempted sugar cookies this year too....except hers ended up with red hots and 14 different kinds of sprinkles on them. Kaydence is TOO funny with the flour...hope you guys enjoy! Also...I'd like to know your secret for baking an entire pan of brownies and eating only one. You are either LYING or you have INCREDIBLE self-restraint!!!

That looks like it was so much fun!

I've just found your blog and I'm really enjoying it. I've just started my own photography business in Alabama and it's nice to see someone "close".

Merry Christmas
