Baking, jammies and strange cakes

Let me just say this was the Baklava day from hell. I swear this took the entire day to get baked.
It appears to have turned out right but I wasn't too sure there for a while. We now have 100 fresh pieces to enjoy this weekend at our wine/beer tasting.
Today was d's last day of school before Christmas break. He got to wear pajamas to school and they watched Polar Express. He had a blast eating popcorn and making treats to bring home.
Also, today's weather was crazy. The high today was in the 50's and by tomorrow it will drop almost 30 degrees. Luckily, no snow in the forecast.
