Baking Day

This year I got an early start on my cinnamon bread baking.  We made our list of friends and families that we wanted to give to and we had about 40 to make.  I wanted to have it made before the kids got out of school because a lot of people leave town so on Tuesday I got up early and started making dough at 6:30 am.  I took me awhile to get my groove so I decided I'd just make 20 and finish off on Wednesday.  As always, the thought of spending all day making bread was a little overwhelming and tiring and I didn't really want to do it but as I started I was filled with Christmas cheer.  I had my Christmas music blaring and Lucy would help sprinkle the filling and Eliza would sit on the counter next to me content as could be.  The kids were so excited to deliver the bread and donning our Santa hats we were off.  Mikey and Lucy were the cutest.  They would run up to the doors and wish everyone a Merry Christmas bringing a smile to every one's face.  I am so glad I sucked it up and kept up with this Christmas tradition.

The pans were pretty heavy with all that bread on it.  Everyone but one family were home so we were able to deliver all our bread.
