The triplets and Brody are here, but they get into their video games ,and the triplets are getting to that age where they're slightly phasing out of baking/cooking, but they still love to hangout in the baking friday kitchen ,and of course they love the goodies :)

i've been looking forward to us all gathering,and have been counting down to baking friday today, and as the day was going on, i began to realize, it may just be me in the kitchen today baking, which i'm cool with, as i wanted to create a baking friday buffet of foods for everyone to enjoy :) i went out into the kitchen early this afternoon, around 2:40pm, and began to get everything all set and ready :) i began to prepare the potato chips, and onion rings :) everyone was with me in spirit in the kitchen :) i made some nice onion rings batter, using flour, 2 eggs, salt, milk, and half and half cream :) The triplets ,and Brody came out into the kitchen at times, and were very happy to enjoy some goodies :) they all got some nice potato chips, with vinegar and salt :) i prepared the brownies :) Alyssa had picked up some nice pillsbury holiday cookies earlier this week, and sent them with the kids for us to bake :) snowman theme, and Christmas tree theme, the kids love the pillsbury cookies :) i felt like a chef in the kitchen today, preparing all of the goodies :) it makes me very happy that everyone enjoys the goodies :)
