Gray skies outside, inside ...

There was cookie baking.  For the second year I decided to make big boxes of cookies for my co workers.  It started like this

 This is a citrus sable from Joy the Baker.  Don't know about her blog?  She rocks, she also bakes the most delicious things.  Anyhow this log was cut up into many buttery citrus spiked cookies.

Then I made chocolate cookies on and later stuffed then with caramel.

I rolled out soft cream cheese based pastry dough and then sliced, coated with sugar and dried fruit, and rolled up tasty bites of rugelach

Oh my...

Meanwhile outside it rained and Tyler started his inaugural batch of home brew with assistance from Cale (note Tyler is hiding from the camera)

Carson tried out his new winter boots

All in all it was a good weekend.  Soon after these photos were taken the rain turned to snow.  After making all of this yummy stuff, it didn't feel cold and gray.
