I cooked these on Monday, with every intention in the world, to decorate them after the kids' nap. I then decided, Ryan should be here to watch Maeve decorate... so I postponed decorating to Monday night.
Monday night came and went, no decorating.
Tuesday and Wednesday were the same... long days with lots of stuffffff crammed in to every second.
Tonight, I declared it "GINGERBREAD NIGHT." We were decorating these gingermen whether my kids (or I) wanted to or not :)
So decorated we did.. or I should say
she did. We (as in Ryan, Henry and I) watched and ate :)

About ehhhh, 8, maybe 9 Christmases ago, we (my mom, sisters and I) made cookies on Chrsitmas Eve. SUGAR cookies to be exact. I must have eaten half the bowl of raw dough, and then a handful of cooked cookies. Needless to say, since that Christmas, I have
NOT made the traditional sugar Christmas cookies. I am thinking that I might stifle back the pukey feeling I get when I look at the dough, and make them for the kids. Hmm... we'll see :)

sometimes you just have to declare it be the night and do it no matter what... or it never happens... lovely pictures.
Stopping from Networks to follow. I love dough too.
