Making gingerbread cookies for Santa with YaYa

Julian and YaYa set out to make a gingerbread house today, but it quickly turned into gingerbread cookies instead (thanks, partially incomplete Whole Paycheck Gingerhaus Chalet directions!).



We put the finishing touch — red, er pink, and green icing piped from plastic bags — tonight after Christmas dinner with my dad's family.






Santa will be getting these gems, which, if you ask me, are elegant enough for a Martha Stewart cookbook.

Too bad Julian ate all that icing! Santa could be stopping by any minute and he's not going to bed any time soon. I guess we'll manage.

Merry Christmas!
