A Merry Little Christmas

December 26, 2018

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas enjoying precious time spent with family and friends! This year flew by far too fast. Just last Christmas Harry was a newborn babe who I constantly held in my arms and now he’s running around with a lively interest in the world around him. We had a very special season with him and I’m not quite ready for it to end. In this post I’m sharing highlights from Christmas and the weekend leading up to it.

A light snow welcomed us on Christmas Eve morning and it was magical. We hosted Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinner at our home (I can now appreciate all of the hard work our parents put into the holidays), attended a couple of holiday parties (I couldn’t resist putting together another cheese board for Kiel’s sister), visited Santa — Harry screamed the instant we tried to put him on Santa’s lap, and baked lots of holiday cookies!  It was an action packed few days and I’m ready for a long winter’s nap.

 

Kiel’s Famous Gingerbread Cookies

December 23, 2018
Around the holidays we always have plenty of gingerbread cookies around our home. Kiel has been baking them every year since he was a child. It’s a tradition he really looks forward to. There is always a mini competition between him and his mom to see who can make the tastier gingerbread cookie. I won’t say who the winner is but I will say that the cookies never last long around here.
Today I’m sharing Kiel’s famous gingerbread cookie recipe. He likes his with a little extra holiday spice! It’s fairly easy to follow. The only tricky part is getting the icing to stay soft while decorating the cookies. We used this recipe for the Royal Icing. To make the icing easier to apply we kept putting the plastic icing bag under hot water which helped a great deal when decorating.
