This past weekend, I and my sisters and our sister-in-law got together for Sisters’ Weekend at our Dad’s house and made 197 dozen Christmas cookies and candies. We had the excellent help of our great-niece who loves to bake and loves to help. Our two brothers take platters of Christmas goodies to their customers each year. This year, we decided to help out and take the load off the shoulders of the few people who have provided the delicious goodies in the past.
We all brought some things made ahead of time, and we baked a lot more over the weekend. Here’s a small part of all the wonderful things we made…
I spent the night at Older Son’s house last Thursday to sit with the grands and then spent Friday through Sunday at Dad’s house. I had a wonderful time both places, but am glad to be home and back to my daily routine. I have a lot of Christmas baking of my own to do, lots of Christmas prep, and, of course, the continued work of creating stock for my Etsy shop.
Here’s the menu for the week.
