What a fun weekend filled with lots of yummy treats. Friday night we got together with friends and made Gingerbread houses. We were going to make them from scratch but once we figured it out we decided it was way too much effort and we settled for the pre assembled kits. The boys were more interested in basketball and eating the candy we were decorating with but it was fun
The girls - Raquel, Molly and Sherri.
Shayne posing like he helped!
Doesn't it look scrumptious!
Our little gingerbread village!

Saturday I helped Raquel make cookies for her ward party. They were so cute and festive (we frosted some with mint icing and crushed oreos and the others with cream cheese frosting and crushed candy canes) it was so fun and they turned out great. There were even enough to take some home and share with Shayne, thanks Raquel!
Don't they just make your mouth water looking at them!
Close up of the delicious goodness!

Those look so yummy! Yup, I think I'm gonna need that recipe!
Oh! The houses look fabulous. It looks like you guys are still having a ton of fun. Wish we could be there to hang out. Soon enough I guess. Thank you so much again for helping Brigham get our camera. Sorry for the inconvenience.
those cookies look sooo good I need that recipe for sure!!! I love the house we are doing that on Monday I can't wait we do them every year!!! Todd does not love it but, I force him to come!!!
Sherri...did you know that they cast the person playing Edward in the Twilight movie they are making? For a person who hasn't started reading the book, I'm actually really excited (if you enjoy Harry Potter, you'll know what I'm talking about).
Is it sad that I am totally drooling over those cookies? To die for! I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Your treats look delicious...maybe you might think of sending some our way?!? I love making Christmas treats...glad you're having fun. Also, your hair lookd really cute. Are you growing it out?
Sherri, It took me way too long to write back. Your gingerbread house is sooo cute and I hope things are going better for you in Ohio. Keep in touch:)
Sorry, I had to post again, because I too love the Eclipse series. I was reading them the same time as you were. We went on a road trip for Thanksgiving and I've never enjoyed a road trip as much as I did while reading. Selfish of me, but it's good the kids had movies to entertain them and Jared had his own book on tape to listen to:)
Looks like you guys are a professional bakery...he he, anyway, sorry Sherri I thought you could just click onto my name and it would direct you to my blog, I ran into your mom and she grabbed all of my info, but just in case here is my blog address: www.janica217.blogspot.com and my email: jglass217@msn.com, I will talk to ya soon!!! Merry Christmas!!!
