Johnson Girls Annual Christmas Baking

Annual Christmas baking started 5 years ago. We started the first year just on a Saturday after skating school and finishing up on Sunday, less then 24 hours. Well 5 years in we have learned a lot! This year we started Thursday at 4:30 and finished up on Saturday at 6:00 pm. The only 2 things that haven't changed is we pick our date in November for the following year (yes we had 2010 date picked before 2009 happened) and its at my house.


We started this year on Thursday night with the list of things we needed in hand a way we went to Walmart and then to Cubs to finish up the special things we couldn't get at Walmart. Including over 3 pounds of pecans.

Payten getting her first baking lesson from Laura, next year Payten can help!


After making 15 different recipes we had fun putting all of our tins together!

PS a quick hockey update: Cody scored another goal for his team during the Sunday game. Cold rink in Waseca but another fun game for Payten and I to watch.
