Baking Day 2011

I really enjoyed baking day this year. :) I feel like each year I get to bond more with my "sisters." I've never had a sister so I'm so grateful to Lainee and Aubrey for filling-in. :) I'm glad that me and my mom are so close. We are best friends so it's nice to spend the day with her too. We all had such a good time. We can be ourselves, laugh, and enjoy the company. I'd say that this year was one of the best yet. We all made 4 batches of cinnamon rolls (which made about 96 rolls), 7 batches of toffee (including 3 Garrett made when he came around 4), 2 batches of caramel corn (not counting one that I burned and threw out :), a batch of muddy buddies, a batch of caramel, 2 batches of divinity, a batch of mint oreo bites, and a batch of gingerbread cheesecakes. :)

Two highlights of the day were: #1 - we forgot about the dough rising on the counter while we ate lunch and they were all huge!! And #2 - Addie climbed up on the step stool to sneak caramel corn off the counter. ;)

It was a really fun day. I look forward to this every year. I think we should do it mid-year too. :)
