Homemade Gingerbread Cookies and Christmas Posts from the Past
Today we had 2 friends who homeschool with us come over to play with my Cupcakes. While the friends were here we made gingerbread cookies (from scratch :) ). I've never made gingerbread before, but it was a sticky and yummy good time! I also did some gingerbread activities last week in my post Moon Cookies and "G" is for Gingerbread. Here are photos from our gingerbread day:

Hello! Thank you for your Visit!
I'm Tracy. I love my faith, family and on most days, homeschooling my 5 blessings. When I'm not busy baking cakes for my family or making memories in real life or dreaming I had a housekeeper or professional chef, I enjoy documenting a slice of Smith life in blog land.

What fun! Looove Gingerbread!
I tried the life savers ornaments this year with my girl scout troop but I must have done something wrong as they turned into a big blob of mess:( Luckily the girls didn't care and were happy. You will have to give me a few pointers on how long to cook them to get them to melt but not turn into liquid:) Voted for you today
HI Diane,
Thanks for stopping by to comment! May you have a blessed Christmas!
Hi Anna-Marie,
I'm sorry the LifeSavers didn't cooperate :( But, I'm glad you had fun with the messy process. I really have to watch them closely as they melt and some colors melt faster than others which makes things interesting. My tip would be to turn on the oven light and watch them closely as they get soft and melt. Then pull them out when they have melted and still have their shape. Hope that helps :)
Hi Tracy,
I love that your children enjoy baking with mom! It will be wonderful memories for them to think back on when they're adults or parents themselves. Merry Christmas!
Hello! I found your blog from Catholic Mothers Online! Love the blog. We've read a lot of the same books! I hope you don't mind if I follow you!
