First let me say, I soooo wish all of my Holmes girls were right here in the kitchen with us, but it was these three Mrs. Holmes that were able to come together today to do some
Christmas baking. I thought it would be really fun to get Julia and Breana into the kitchen and making some tried and true cookie recipes that my boys, friends and family have enjoyed over the years. A little gift of Christmas cooking linens were brought out, and then let the baking begin!!
We had some really great fun and lots of laughs as we first started with Chocolate chip cookies. As we were sharing and laughing the girls both pointed out "looks" and sayings that they see on their men, and the "my mom" isms that they have shared with their sweetie brides. I told a few stories on myself from cooking in a "newlywed" kitchen as well.
On to Peanut Butter Kiss ....
And after....
we had fun trying Pretzel Rods with white chocolate and sprinkles...pretty funny!
And add some brownies,
and we put together plates to take to our family, neighbors and friends.
The girls were very patient with me, and made me smile alot to know that they are in love with my boys, and that makes me very happy, and so excited to see what the years ahead bring as we start a new tradition together! Next year....Randi, Stephanie and Heidi...we are looking forward to you joining us!
I love my girls! All 5 of you!
