When the last month of the year arrives our home turns into a revolving bakery...we throw out all healthy resolutions and completely immerse ourselves in the joy of all things sugary!
It's always fun having Dad join us girls in the kitchen...Johanna and him were in charge of "his" sugar cookies
Bunny face :)
Dad gets a little excited when he has a machine in his hands...especially when that machine is a beater!
Vanessa chose to make peanut butter fudge
They're dangerous with that beater, folks
Finishing the night by the fire
It's game-time! UNO and...
...Scrabble
That evening we began the next phase of the cookie-making process...cutting them out and baking!
Mom and Vanessa's version of teamwork: "That's enough flour" "Are you sure? Let's add more." ;)
The action
Curly-Q
Saw that, Vanessa!
Oh yes we did
Curly together
Dad and Johanna always come up with the most ingenious ideas...
Johanna: "I'll hold the pin down and you roll me back and forth" :D
The flour muffin
From Bella's perspective, December is the best month of the year
Mama dear and the Bean...
...with a white beard
Mom's cookies, baked
Dad's cookies, baked (these cookie wars will never end)
Frosting time!
Two tired and happy frosting sisters
Dessert plates for the many wonderful caregivers that come into our home
Completed!
Our lovely dishwasher (reminds me of the song, "Irish Washerwoman") :)
After our bakery closed shop for the evening, Johanna put a Nativity skit on with her baby...
...and Bella got in on the action as the little black sheep that I'm sure was present ;)
part ii coming soon...
