Christmas Preparations

Today was our day for the girls to come over and do Christmas baking for the day.  We baked all day and the girls tried some new recipes.  I admire the tedious work they like to do because I don't take the time, nor desire to try something new.  I always do the same old thing...chocolate chip cookies, peanut blossoms, and Chex mix.  But, I do like tasting the creations the girls come up with.  They are good cooks!



One nice picture to humor me....



....and one to show how they REALLY felt! (exhausted). 



Amber made peach pie cookies (the ones with the lattice work on them), and Valerie made snowmen melting into the sugar cookies.  Of course, they made much more than that, but those are the ones you can see up close.   Valerie made incredible Double chocolate caramel melt cookies and Amber made Peppermint brownie bites too...delicious!

By early evening, the 3 guys arrived to descend upon the table of goodies.  I kept inquiring what to fix for dinner.  They ate the treats while I had left over Vegetable Pizza from lunch.  At least I didn't have to cook again after a hard day's work!
