Carolina Cooking

Every year my mom and I spend a day baking a variety of Christmas goodies. Its so great Kelsey's old enough to help and the best part is she likes to! One of her favorite things to do is break up the grahram crackers into crumbs with the rolling pin...perhaps she has some anger issues?
My big sister was here this year from South Carolina so she came to help too what a joy! Its always a pain frosting all the sugar cookies so it was great to have her help plus she did some pretty fancy frosting!
Thats my niece Katie with us, she's 3 months younger than Kelsey. She didn't really wanna help because her mom had worn her out baking a few weeks earlier but we got her to a little.
We made fudge, peanut butter squares and blosoms, mini cheesecake cakes, sugar cookies, and 7-layer cookies. It was a very fun day I wasn't as wiped out as usual.
I should of stopped here with the baking but in the days that followed I continued baking bread, rolls, pies, cookies, and carmel corn by Christmas I was done!
