BAKING!

This weekend was the first chance I have had to do some baking. It just doesn't feel like Christmas with out having family over and making cookies. I was able to spend some time with my mom and chad on Friday night making Grandma Audrey's farmhouse cookie dough. They have to cool overnight so I didn't get to make them until Saturday, but they sure are yummy. It was fun to have my parents to myself, it doesn't happen very much anymore. It really did make me miss my sister though. On Saturday Kiel's family came over and we made chocolate chip cookies, a gingerbread train, and some chocolate candies. We had a great time. It was nice to be surrounded by family for the weekend, especially coming into the final stretch before Christmas.
