A Little Autumn Baking...

Fall is in the air, and with the mornings and evenings getting dark and chilly, the autumn baking urge has come on strong! Time for some big pots of chili and soup and yummy cookies full of those delectable spices of the season! :-)


The kids helping chop up oodles of fresh vegetables for a giant pot of soup.


Vera Gail mixing up the gingerbread dough, yummy yummy!


She wanted to try on her Halloween costume, but we didn't want to get chocolate milk and gingerbread cookie all over it, so we found another fanciful outfit to wear. Aaarrrgh, ahoy maties! :-D


A beautifully decorated gingerbread man, ready to be devoured.


Our friend Lucas demolishing his gingerbread creation. :-)


And his brother Axel ready to do the same!


Janelle and Axel looking adorable together. :-)


Sampling the frosting IS required.


*CHOMP!*


Sticky pirate fingers.
