November 21 - Getting ready to take Lily on the ferry over to Vancouver Island to join Jody and Lori for "Bakefest 2009" at Jody's house - an annual 2-day marathon in the kitchen where we jointly do all our Christmas baking. Good times!! Lily needs her own suitcase :)
Day 1 - Shortly after we arrive, Lily settles in on Auntie Lori's lap.
Yep - she's out like a little pink light.
She wakes up long enough to transfer over to Auntie Jody...
"That ferry trip was exhausting, mom! I sure like it here. Need to rest up for the big day tomorrow!"
Day 2 - Lily takes a little break after we get started. Despite the pictures on this blog that make it seem like Lily slept a good portion of the time, that is most definitely NOT the case....she wanted to be in on the action in the kitchen and everytime she was layed down, she reminded us in very clear terms that she wanted to be included in what the big girls were doing. And sooo................. 
Lily is paying close attention to what we're doing....and soon she is ready to get in there and help.
She wields a wooden spoon like a pro!!! We think she probably inherited some stellar baking genes :) She also knows it is uber chic to match your outfit to your mixing bowl.
The smile on her little face says it all!!!
"Not only am I a good stirrer, I can hold the bottle with my own suction!" The girl's got skills.
"Whew it was a hard day!! Just need a little nap..."
Lily soon sucks Lori into the nap vortex and the two of them relax on the couch, with visions of hundreds of cookies, bars and slices, dancing in their heads.Lily told me she is already counting down the days 'til Bakefest 2010. She also asked me if she could have a funky apron to wear next year.
