Here I come 10 more lbs...
Last Saturday, my mom, sisters and I had what is becoming our annual Christmas Baking Day. It was a lonnnng day, but fun and full of Christmas music and incredibly productive. Our sister in law came and brought our niece and we made it an all out Van Aertselaer girls baking day. Even Grandma came and helped, and Dad sat in and had lunch with us.
What did we make? What didn't we make!
For this week's thursday thirteen...13 delicious recipes we made:
Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge
Christmas Popcorn Mix
The "Final" board - all checked off:
Mmmm, my favourite, Christmas Popcorn Mix - cinnamon/caramel popcorn with teddy grahams and m & m's. Deliciously addictive!
Grandma, coming to see the spoils...
sort count pack sort count pack...
(That's me on the left, counting individual pieces of popcorn-must be fair! ha ha...)
Trin, keeping us entertained (distracted?!) with all that darned cuteness!
Thank you to Bec & Court for our best looking (and tasting!) wreaths ever!
Originally against making Imperial Cookies, how could I say no after Kim & Becky made these SUPER cute ones?! I was totally impressed.
OOooh! Figgght! oops. I mean OOooh! Fuddddge! *
Mmmm, all that chocolately/marshmallowy goodness...
The famous Nuts & Bolts that no one ever wants to make, but always disappears...
These last two shots are a tribute to the 15 lbs I lost while galavanting about Europe. Get ready thighs, it's allllllll coming back! **
yUm!
* That one's for you girls. And a free plate of fudge to anyone else who knows what movie that quote is from...
**Update, I already had one night where I basically just ate goodies for supper. I may have learned my lesson. Maybe.

I left a comment already but it seems to have disappeared.
I didn't think it came from a movie. I thought it came from The Office. But, my memory's failing me. Besides, I don't really want any fudge. I want one of those absolutely stunning Imperial cookies.
And, also, frickin frick, you beat us! By one! Oh it's oooooonnnnn next year!
God bless all of you women. It brings a tear to my eye...
hee hee hee. I know what it's from. If no one else guesses can I have the plate of fudge? Or, as a replacement, I would also accept a bowl of the christmas popcorn mix that you owe me after coming over and eating all of mine!
I don't know the movie the line ia from, but I tell you, I sure as HECK wish i did.....How green I am. Looks like a prety spectacular day.
Oh nice line. I knew it before I even finished reading it! :) Still my favourite!
What a fun day! And your baking looks so lovely!
