Baking, Baking, Baking

So this year, I was having a hard time getting in the MOOD to do my baking. I think it's because I have run non-stop for so long, and I just wanted to sit and not make any more of a mess than what is required to get through a day with five kids!!

Anyway, I decided to crank up the Christmas music this afternoon, and away I went....to the kitchen....to do some baking. The girls also showed up about half way through and washed dishes for me. Yay for that, even though a few things still had peanut butter on them (smile). Hey, I'm going to enjoy that they enjoyed washing my dishes while I can!

Here is what came out of the Beimfohr kitchen today...



These are pineapple pecan bars made with pecans that my aunt brings me each year from Alabama....I did sneak a bit tonight and I think they are pretty good...new recipe...



Rocky road brownies...with M&MS...



Rice Krispie Treats...



Oatmeal cookies with chocolate, white chocolate, and peanut butter chips...



Sugar Cookie...



Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies...



and Flipsides dipped in choc...



Now I just have to decide where and when to eat all this stuff! I think we will have plenty to share! I want to leave you with this picture of Caleb and Evan. Caeb wanted to feed Evan his cereal yesterday morning so I let him and he actually did a pretty decent job. Here is the picture to help us remember this event...too cute...or maybe, too scary!!
