Christmastime Wonderweek- Wednesday
So… I see that the post on Tuesday took even more words that I was expecting, so I thought I’d make a new little box :). haha! But Wednesday we carried-on an at least 36 year-old tradition of punching out sugar cookies. Again, Nana popped in to help with her Continue Reading
Muma’s Pie, My Pies… but certainly MY pies!
Today was baking day. Muma embarked upon a festive holiday Apple Cranberry Streusel pie, and was quite certain she’d have at least one helper– for a time. Little did we know how much fun the boys would have helping with the crust, and that Alexander would decide that he wanted Continue Reading
Baking, and Frosting, and Sprinkling– oh my!
We’ve had a good baking week this week. Sunday Alexander and Muma made her favorite Linzer cookies– happy little jam filled stars cookies with cloves, cinnamon, and pecans. They look like this (though I didn’t take a picture of mine before we ate most of them :0 !) Tuesday, after Continue Reading
unmeltable… almost
With Alexander’s lovely snowman slimming down each day, we decided a few new little faces were in order. A revised version from our Hello Cupcake! book resulted in nine happy little snowman cupcakes complete with coconut snow, Starburst / Airhead accessories, Oreo/MiniOreo hats and M&M earmuffs. Even Nana joined in Continue Reading
CookiePalooza!!!
We did a few round of cookies this year- though mostly stuck to sugar cookies and decorating. Grammy came down one Wednesday and we did some punch-outs with our good friends the Mills. Later we got together to let the kids do some decorating together. Alex and Muma punched out Continue Reading
Chef Alex “Kicks it up a Notch”
We’ve hired a new chef in our household! With a lovely new hat from Aunt Nancy and birthday apron from Grandpa and Grandma J., he is certainly the most professional looking chef we’ve ever had. Not only does he mix, measure (roughly), and look absolutely adorable doing it, he’ll be Continue Reading
PandaMonium!!!
Mama took four hours of her day off today and made Panda Cupcakes for Alexander’s birthday from the book Hello, Cupcake. We received it for Christmas, and Alexander absolutely loves this book. He often pretends to make the cupcakes of various pages himself in his little kitchen, or even has Continue Reading
Chef Zahzah
For Christmas, Nana got Alexander his very own little kitchen. He absolutely loves cooking, baking you name it with Mama and for the past several months he’s been quite content to have a couple bowls, mixing spoons, empty spice jars and dry pasta to stir around. But after Nana made Continue Reading
Watch out for the COOKIE MONSTER!!!
This is super-excited Alexander amidst the sprinkles, and ready to mix cookie frosting. He is sporting the other look you might get if you ask him to smile for the camera. There’s no denying that Alexander is a cooking fiend! He loves to cook, to bake, to play cook, to Continue Reading
Pancakin’ with Papa
Sabbath morning, I came down the stairs to find Alexander and David busy at work in the kitchen making pancakes for breakfast. What a little sight to warm your heart! We had a scrumptious breakfast of pancakes, sausage patties, and cinnamon bread with juice- compliments of the men of the Continue Reading
