Baking Extravaganza!

Last week was Christmas Baking Extravaganza...2 adults, 4 kids, 5 1/2 hours of baking, and 10 different types of goodies!
Unfortunately the day started out with a sprinkle spill...my kids know how to clean them up, though it eventually got a little out of hand and had to be put to a stop.


In general, the kids were more about playing in the basement then baking, but certain jobs were worthy of their time. For example, here is Ella making peanut butter balls.



Auntie Amy and the kids mixing up something. It's subtle, but if you look at Nathan, you'll notice that his hand is in the jar of brown sugar.



"Gingerbread boys" or "Gingermen" as Ella calls them, ready to go in the oven.




Here's a display of some of the tasty treats!

The puppy chow and the caramel puffcorn didn't last long, but at least I had the sense of mind to put all the cookies in the freezer (and send a big plate with Matt to work).
