my muffin munchkin......

this was where me and the Bit enjoyed our bellies full '0' muffins and watched some TV. So warm and cozy, "thank you for the fire daddy!!!"

someone got REALLY into the photographing of the muffin date!

she kept saying "mommy, I wann say cheese!!"

such a good helper

Taking up a little more counter space then last years muffin making pics. :)

Such a ham!

Well it's that time of year again. Time to fill the house with the delicious scent of cinnamon and alspice for our holiday pumpkin muffins. Always a family standard in our house growing up and now a must have in my own home. Unfortunately my hubby won't help me eat them (the recipe makes like 30 muffins!) so I have been thrilled to have a new tummy to please in consuming the little orange miracles. Abigail is really a good little helper and insists on participating in as much as possible in the baking process. She frequently chants her mantra we hear so often "I wannn do it mommy!" She did good once the batter was liquid but she pretty much got flour and sugar all over the counter when I mixed the dry ingredients. She kept flipping the spoon full of powder out of the bowl when she so enthusiastically did her part to stir. :) We will donate half the batch to the L&D unit so our skin won't turn orange this year. Usually I troup through the whole batch no matter how long it takes to finish them. It was a lovely evening together and a cherished holiday tradition now w/ my sweet girl. And I love the new addition of fireside floor picnic once they're all done. And the reviewing of some much loved Harry Potter made the night complete!
