I have really been in the baking spirit this holiday. . . printing recipes left and right, and just waiting for the opportunity to make them for some event or gathering. I had been wanting to make gingerbread houses this year. So when our friends invited us over, it was the perfect opportunity. I spent one night rolling and baking the pieces. Then let them sit out for a day or two to really harden. Then the day of decoration came. Henry was really into it. He had just been telling me all about building houses, and really knows his stuff.
Crew was happy because his face was stuffed with candy the whole time. He let Ryan do most of the work, while he took care of the candy. Parent fail: When we visit other people's house its nearly impossible to get Crew to eat anything because he is too overwhelmed with so many new toys. This particular day I just decided we would feed him on the way home, or when we got home so I could enjoy my dinner and avoid force feeding a resistant 2 year old. I wasn't really paying attention, or realizing what was going on, while he ate LOADS and LOADS of candy during gingerbread house construction and then wouldn't eat much real food later. I layed in bed pondering my decisions of the evening.
And, I had been craving sugar cookies, and found this cute idea on pinterest. Printed it out and waited. . . and the perfect opportunity to make them just came my way, so I had to. Aren't they so cute?! Melted snowmen!
