Birthday Baking

We celebrated my mom's birthday over the weekend and made some holiday treats! First up was the peanut brittle. It seemed fairly easy and we were closely monitoring it with the candy thermometer until it started smelling and looking burnt. I thought we would have to throw the whole thing out but it came out very tasty! Too tasty... Then we made an old cookie dough recipe of my grandmas that turned out to be very versatile. We made three different kinds from the one dough. The kids had a ton of fun hanging out with their cousins, who are much more mobile then they were last time! Paige wanted to be in charge of them but they were having none of it:)
