It is that time of year again. Can you believe it? Christmas is just 2 weeks away. The girls and I have it all planned out what we are making. It's gonna take 2 1/2 days to get it all done. The girls already made the BIG batch of chocolate chip cookies. I wasn't home when this was being done. The girls are awesome!
This is day 2 and Kaitlin is making coconut macaroons.
Kaitlin got them all mixed up.
Her plans are to make three batches.
It's helpful this time of year to have two ovens.
Tray after tray was going in the oven.
I didn't get a photo of any done. We set up three stations to get the baking done this year. So we all were working at the same time and I was the only one taking the pictures.

Skylar is making yummy fudge!
Skylar chopped up the chocolate.
Skylar is getting it all melted together before adding the chocolate to the pot.
I got Skylar convinced to add the walnuts to the fudge.
Skylar only agreed to add a little.
She thought this was enough.
Hey, at least we are getting our nuts.
It's a win win for us.
Fudge is done!
I am making the no-bake cookies.
Double batch!
It's all coming together.
Who doesn't like no-bake cookies!
Since it was cooler today I had the girls put the trays in the garage to cool faster. Besides all my refrigerators are full at the moment. So the garage is the next best place.
Moving on...
Kaitlin is working fast today. She already has the peanut butter cookies mixed and ready for me to fork and add the sugar.
Ready for the oven!
Kaitlin is making three batches. Our oven is working over time today.
Wait there is more......
Skylar got the sugar cookie all mixed up.
We/I decided to do packaged cookies this year. We have had a busy summer into the fall with canning. This way just seemed to work for this year. Normally we do from scratch.
Even the dough tastes good.
The girls got out the cookie cutters they want to use.
They rolled,
They cut,
They baked,
Until they were done,
Almost......
It was time to start the decorating.
The girls designed.
The last two cookies.
Finally by 10:30 pm, We were done!
Barely any frosting left.
Skylar and Kaitlin did a great job with the cookie decorating!
Thanks Girls!
