Speaking of baking, this year I went to Dr. Aunt Best Friend's house to bake with her. (You'll recall from my flu shot post, that my best friend is also a pediatric nurse practictioner and so my kids have taken to calling her Dr. Aunt instead of just Aunt) We decided this year that instead of exchanging gifts, we would give ourselves the gift of time together. It was a hit!

| Dr. Aunt Best Friend is so crafty! Look at the boxes she is using for the cookies... |

You may ask, where was the Prince in all of this fun? He was idolizing playing with Dr. Aunt Best Friend's 13 year old son, Bubba. What a great kid Bubba is to entertain all of the kids and keep them out from under our feet all day. I slipped the dude some money before we left...he definitely earned it!
After an afternoon of baking, our hubbies joined us for pizza. It was a great way to spend the day, in the company of my dear friend and I think we have started a new tradition, one that I will spend the next year looking forward to.
That looks like a blast!
