"Make Xmas Cards" was today's Advent activity and boy did Connie go to town with it..... These are the 2 that she made for her Granny and Nanna.......
They even came complete with family portraits inside, just too cute!!!!! *^_^*.....
The gingerbread man decorating was also a huge hit, even though I think more icing was eaten than put on cookies and then in-turn the cookies were being munched on just as fast as the icing was added, this didn't leave many at the end... I did manage to salvage a few different shapes to ice and put on the table for munching on over the next couple of days though....
This was the perfect recipe (link here), crunchy and delicious. I'll definitely be making more of them over the festive season.... It makes a whopping 60 cookies which are still fresh after a couple of days out on display, not in a container, I'm totally surprised!!!! They would make perfect Xmas decorations (which might still be on the cards closer to Xmas Day)...Do you have a great Xmas cookie recipe that you make every year without fail????? I'd love to hear about it.....
Take Care..... Jodie.....

ReplyDeleteHi Jodie, the Christmas cards are gorgeous. Thanks for the link to the gingerbread cookies.. think I may be doing some cooking tomorrow.. Did you get my emails about the girls dress pattern? I haven't heard back and I'm wondering if I had a wrong email address, Teresa
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time you've had . We have "special" drink at Christmas , it's just punch but the kids cut up the fruit and although they're teenagers now we all still call it "special" drink .
