My family's favorite thing to do at Christmas... bake Swedish gingerbread cookies! We usually only make them once a year on Christmas Eve, but this year we decided that wasn't enough and we made them last week. We'll bake up some more on the Eve. We love to package these cookies up to deliver to friends and neighbors. At dinnertime, I told Greta she would have to stay home if she didn't eat her dinner. She looked at me squarely and replied evenly, "I'll play with all my toys and make a big mess." Conor and I both were unable to contain our laughter. She's a handful!
And a happy little Christmas scene on our mantle. I wish Christmas could last year round!
