Baking Time!

Today has been a day of baking. I have been home alone while my husband worked and I got so much accomplished.  After a trip to see my grandma in the nursing home, mom and I seperated and started baking.  I made M&M cookes, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter candy cookies, peanut butter with recess pieces, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and rice krispy treats. The only thing left is peanut butter filled ritz crackers dipped in chocolate.  I do believe I have a thing for peanut butter, don't ya think??!! 

I love Christmas.  Everything is so pretty. The stores are always decorated, houses are bright in the night, and everyone gives homemade candy. When people take the time to make their holiday treats, it means so much more than going to the store and buying candy.  A person gives thought to what they bake and who for.  Right now, my house smells like freshly baked cookies and all without a candy burning. Normally I burn some kind of dessert flavored candle to make my house smell good. Not today!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Merry Christmas!!  May God Bless everyone.
