When my children were growing up, Christmas was always the time of year that my love language of baking went into overdrive! I miss the days of multiple Christmas trees and outdoor decorations, but one of the things I refuse to give up as my children get older is showering them with baked goods during the holidays. For me, straight from my kitchen is straight from my heart!
And this year? Well, it was time to document family favorites so that my children can start their own traditions with their own families when the time comes.
