Last week we made Christmas cookies with Danyale, Hans and Merry. Danyale had a great recipe for ginger cookies... they were delicious! We also made and decorated sugar cookies. Hans and Merry especially enjoyed using the cookie cutters and frosting the cookies. We had a little extra time and decided to make some chocolate truffles too. I'm surprised we still have a few cookies left! They are all so scrumptious!
Our friend Roe came to visit us this past weekend. We had such a great time hanging out and Trev was able to spend most of Saturday afternoon gallivanting around Bellingham with Roe. One of their stops was at a local grocery store where you could build a gingerbread house for free. So of course they did! This was their creation. Good job guys!
A treat of another kind - a new Christmas music CD! Each year Trev and I purchase a new CD filled with Christmas songs. This year Trev found this one by Sufjan Stevens. We absolutely love it! It has some traditional Christmas hymns with a new style and some that sounds as traditional as ever. There are also some songs we'd never heard before. You should check it out on iTunes the next time you have a chance. If you buy it at a store it comes with stickers and a sing-a-long booklet with chords. Fun!
