It is that time of year again! The time of year when Mom comes to visit and we do our annual baking!!!!
We started off with some Wassail...not just any Wassail though. Mom brought Memaw's recipe!!! I was so excited I could hardly stand it! We made it and it took us both back to Christmases with Memaw.
We made Mom's famous Texas Trash with a few changes. This year we omitted the pretzels and added some sesame stick mix. It was of course delicious as usual!
My friend Deborah from Mom and Dad's church gave me Paula Dean's Cake Ball recipe this year to try! Here is our Step one! We baked a red velvet cake and a devil's food cake and let them cool. After cooling we mixed each in a separate bowl with a container of frosting. We then put them in separate zip lock bags and put in the refrigerator and formed into balls and froze!
GiGi took time out to make sugar cookies with Caden. She let him decorate them with sprinkles and M&M's. He had so much fun as you can tell by the look on his face!
Thanks once again for coming to stay with us Mom. We had so much fun laughing and shopping and making funny noises with my throat (hahahaha!) and I'm sorry I didn't tell you that you had chocolate on your face!

Wow! You guys did more baking over the weekend then I do in a year!! Looks like fun.
That all looks absolutely delicious! I hope you guys found some time to relax too. What a great tradition!
I did have a blast! We didn't even know when we were supposed to be hungry at suppertime! We just worked right on through! Ha! And about the chocolate on my face...I didn't tell you that you had a piece in your braces and it looked like you had a tooth missing...but I didn't want to embarrass you! :)That's why the cashier kept looking at your mouth...Ha. Just kidding! I look forward to doing it again every year, I guess until I get so senile that ya'll end up taking away my car and then you'll have to come down here to do our baking. :|
