Baking Day
Today I had an all day baking today at Suzy's house in preparation for our Christmas lunch at George's parent's house on Sunday. Suzy is out of town, but has an oven that I could use. I was joined by Sarah, an American exchange student who stayed with George's family for six weeks and returned for Christmas. We had a wonderful time. It really helped to make it feel more like Christmas. We baked four pumpkin pies, one pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, 36 pumpkin cookies, 50 sugar cookies, (thanks Megan for the recipe!) and 16 sugar chocolate mint cookies.
