It's Beginning to Smell like Christmas

Food and baking are a big part of our holiday traditions. I am sure this is true for most families. We've been baking up our favorite treats.

The gingerbread house. We have to decorate one every year. If we don't, the kids will revolt!

Then there is BAKE DAY. This year we actually had two!

Ah, baking with children. An exercise in patience for me. I am the kind of cook that cleans as I go. That doesn't fly well with children. So I bite my tongue and tell myself that the memories matter more than the mess.

The next step is to share them with our friends!
