Welcome December...had I taken this picture today, everything beyond the window would be white. Unfortunately, I was too busy wrapping presents today to think about taking pictures.
The last two Sunday afternoons, I, together with my girls & Viv, have been busy with our annual cookie extravaganza. I don't have pictures of the first day - that day we made approximately a gajillion sugar cookies (all decorated by hand, of course) & slightly fewer peppermint cookies (my personal favorite). As shown here, last Sunday we made armys of gingerbread men & stacks of jam-jams. Malcolm is showing remarkable self-restraint, don't you think?
Olivia has proven to be quite a productive helper. Might I even say she outlasted some of the adults... you know who you are!
Our last project, after the gingerbread & jam-jams were boxed up, was peppernuts. We hadn't planned to make them that day, but since we were super efficient with getting the cookies done, Becky had to call Greg at home to pack up the boys & get over to our house. See, we NEVER make peppernuts without Greg - he is our quality control/morsel placer. These things are labor-intensive, so they's that wanna eat em's gotta help make em! And he can eat em!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow afternoon - shortbread!
