Today I took a rare afternoon off and spent some time baking Christmas cookies with my mom. We baked, listened to Christmas music and spent time walking around my parents' acerage with our cameras in between baking batches of fresh cookies. It was as fabulous an afternoon as it sounds. 
I don't remember which type of bird this was
This is a woodpecker!
Same woodpecker
I believe this is a finch? Mom?
A wasp's nest
And then there was the baking!The baking was highly successful, which was encouraging since I don't often bake. I would encourage each and every one of you to try this recipe if you are in the mood for something fabulous.
The dough...yum!

Work is great when you love it - an afternoon spent baking and playing with Mom is even better!!
Thanks for sharing, Amy.
We get those pretty little wood peckers at our bird feeder. I love them!
That wasp nest scares me a little ...
But the cookies look fab ... might be nice to taste one!
Looks delicious...
It's always nice to hang out and bake with mom. Thanks for sharing.

These pictures of the birds are beautiful. I absolutely love them! I want to print them off and hang them up!
