spt: comfort


During the Christmas season there are more than a few activities/traditions which bring me comfort, but holiday baking tops the list! The kids love to help me. When they are older and think about life at home, I hope they remember our tradition of baking gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, fudge and gingerbread houses every single year.

That's a really cute picture of you two, she looks like she's really concentrating.

Please tell me you dive into your museum of sprinkles to decorate your holiday baking?!

I love holiday baking as well. It just wouldn't be Christmas if we didn't make delicious things throughout the season. You look so cute too!

Yes! Baking is one of my favorite comforts during the holidays and throughout the year.

yummmm....i love baking with my kids too. and hopefully i'm not too overbearing with them!

They will definately remember. I remember helping my mom when I was REALLY young. I was the best at rolling up the peanut butter balls and getting them ready for my mom to coat them in chocolate. They are still one of my favorite things to make.

What a sweet post! Baking is the one thing that puts a smile on my face....my mom baking that is. I also crave her sugar cookies, pecan tarts and the other mix of cookies she always makes at Christmas. I'm sure your kids will one day look back and feel the same as I do.

Holiday baking was a tradition that my Mom started with us kids, and I am happy to say that I have started the tradition with my own children as well. Great pic of you two!~

Christine said...

Such a cute picture of you two! You are always so great about baking. I haven't baked one thing this year - loser mom! Well, I do get to go make pancakes for Jake to bring to his 5th grade breakfast this morning - does that count?

I think traditions involving food are some of the best--and are so comforting (much to the downfall of my bottom and thighs).

Cute pic!!
