Mama's Little Bakers

It's just not the holidays without a little baking sprinkled in. In my pre-mom days I would spending days baking cookies. I would take time off of work for the sole purpose of baking. I'd attend several cookie exchanges. These days, my holiday baking has taken on a different life.

I fondly remember my mother spending the weeks leading up to Christmas in the kitchen baking. She would make hundreds of dozens of cookies. I loved helping her when I was willing. And now, I love including Emma and Harper when I bake cookies. This year their cookie of choice was gingerbread.

Then it was time for the fun (and mess)!

All of our hard work resulted in this:

Now the easy part...EATING!!

Do you enjoy holiday baking? Do you have cookies that you make as tradition or do you mix it up each year. I'd love to know!
