Blume Baking Bash

This weekend the two Blume families got together and made Christmas cookies, like we do every year the first weekend in December. It was really nice having Saffron's help this year, she was really into making the cookies pretty and unique to her. I can't wait till Sebastian grows up, and is able to join in on the fun. Here are a few of the many pictures I took this weekend.

As always there are always plenty of sprinkles to decorate the cookies!

We decided to do the easy Christmas goodies first, and one of Saffron's favorite, white chocolate filled pretzels!

"These sure look good.....I can't wait to put these into my tummy!"

Daddy sneaking a peak at the ladies in the kitchen.....

"Armed and ready with sprinkles Grandma, bring on the cookie dough!"

I really get into decorating cookies and can get quite creative, but this year I held back and let Saffron do all the work, and she had a blast!

Notice she loves using mounds, and mounds of sprinkles!

One of many pans of cookies that went into the oven that day....

"Keep the trays coming Grandma.....these sprinkles need a home!"

"We need to do this every month, not just at Christmas!"

Saffron really liked using the little shakers, she found them easier to use then the big containers!

"Hey Grandpa wanna try our tasty creations??"

"Hey Grandpa watch me......."

They all turned out so tasty.......

Saffron waiting so patiently for a cookie to cool down.....

Saffron really got a kick out of the cut outs....and seeing all the neat shapes Grandma made her to decorate!

and here is Sneaky Saffron snagging cookies when she thinks no one is looking


I tried to get a nice picture for our cards this year....
this is the best one I got....

Oh well....
Happy Holidays!
