Christmas baking

Between Christmas gatherings and Christmas traditions we've had plenty of excuses to make some sweet treats lately.  Here's a picture of Penny working on his first ever white chocolate Christmas tree.  The final product was posted on Facebook.  It looked awesome!  And tasty yummy too.


One of the first days of Christmas break we got out the gingerbread house kit and started assembling.


Such focus - all the candy had to be in just the right spot... before it got pulled back off and eaten!


The finished house - nice job guys!


Next up, a few days later, were the Christmas cookies.


These were no cookies you'd ever find for sale in a bakery - they were so over-the-top covered with icing and sprinkles that it was hard to tell there was a cookie underneath.


But the kids loved every moment of the decorating, declaring themselves "the best cookie makers ever!"  And perhaps some icing was enjoyed along the way too!
