Cheese Drops, Cookie Press Christmas Trees and Gingerbread Boys
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!
Last weekend the girls and I did some Christmas baking and prepared gifts for our neighbors.
Dots doesn't like red hots and preferred to decorate her gingerbread boys with French dragees
Dots was indignant that I didn't have a gingerbread girl cookie cutter. She improvised by making some pearl necklaces out of dragees and using extra dough to form ponytails for a few of the cookies
Vivian got in on the action and helped to decorate a few of the gingerbread boys
Vivian was very proud of the ones she did but wasn't happy that she had to wait until they were baked to eat one!
For my birthday a friend gave me this darling ribbon that I used to wrap our neighbor gifts
Married since 1987 to Robert, three grown kids: Will, Vivian, and Dots, one granddaughter: Charlotte ~~~~
Majored in mathematics at SMU, taught elementary school for six years before Will was born, currently tutoring math ~~~~
Things I enjoy: playing duplicate bridge, working NY Times crossword puzzles, reading good books, entertaining, visiting with friends, planning trips, traveling, playing board games, spending time with family, working Liberty jigsaw puzzles, cooking, keeping up with old friends ~~~ happy to correspond with other parents about raising a child with special needs
I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
