Baking, baking and more baking!

It seems that every year we add to all the goodies we bake. And this year with the kids going to school clear up until the 21st and the fact that we were celebrating Christmas with the extended Funny Nose family early, we had to get a lot done in a short amount of time.

Joe took care of the fudge, chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies. I prepared the sugar cookies so the kids could help roll out of the dough, cut out the shapes and decorate.

But that's not all. On Sunday, we not only made second batches of fudge and chocolate chip cookies, but Joe experimented and made some really delicious peppermint fudge and a small batch decorated with M&Ms. I also decided to make peanut butter blossoms and haystacks. We had a lot of goodies!

 

So we packed a bunch of them up and headed out to hand them out to neighbors:

 But we kept plenty to share with our company that night too.

 

 Yes. We definitely did our share of baking this year.
