Mmmmm, holiday baking.  Most years I am only eating the holdiday goods.  This year, I plan to do the baking too.  So far I will be making Hello Dolly bars and Sundrop pound cake.  Chex Mix is always a treat at our house too.

My dad always does the Chex Mix.  he never uses a recipe or measuring agents.  Everything is by memory and out of his hand/eye/memory.  I watch him make sweet potato casserole every Thanksgiving and the only reason he looks at the receipe is to make sure he doesn't forget an ingredient. 

I get my baking skills from my father.  I am looking forward to spending the day in the kitchen and making stuff together.  Spending time with him and creating memories are what I look forward too most every year.  My dad makes everything special.  I can't wait to have a family of my own so my kids get to have the experiences i have had.
