Christmas Baking

Throughout December, we made lots of Christmas treats to share. We also ate plenty of them ourselves! The kids love doing sugar cookies even though they are a ton of work!

The girls also like to help make peanutbutter kiss cookies every year.

Austin's dad wanted to make candy with all of the older cousins this year. They used our kitchen because it is more spacious. They made five different kinds of candy with the five oldest kids each leading the making of a different type.

 The chocolate hazlenut candy from Italy was my personal favorite, although they were all good. Some of them didn't quite turn out as hoped, but they were all good.

We always made at least one batch of Christmas bread from the recipe that has been passed down through my family.
