Baking Queen

I felt like my mom yesterday. I baked and then I did a little baking and then well, I baked some more… I even popped a casserole in the oven for good measure. See, that’s pretty much what she does on the day before Thanksgiving – she cooks A LOT.

I wore my apron (gosh, I SO need a pic of me sportin’ my apron!) and please let’s all pretend like I had my’50’s style dress on with heels, mkay? Here I am…

Oh wait, that can’t be me. Her shirt is totally ironed and I haven’t ironed anything since like 2002 or so…

Yeah, no. I was adorned in my “mom-stume” – jeans and a 3/4 length polo-style shirt and my running shoes. Running around the kitchen… baking.

My MIL and BIL were nice enough to come help out with the kids while I played Betty Crocker or Martha, take your pick. Anyway, here’s the dessert triumvirate in all its glory. Yes, the fruits of my labor.

I am SO ready to dig in. Do we really have to eat the other stuff before this?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! : )
