2011 Gingerbread...

The tradition continues...

I had grand plans to design a rather elaborate house this year.... something as fun as last year's sleigh....but..

the littles all decided December might be a fine time to throw mama for a loop and develop a nasty cold/virus....hmmmm....

So...my grand house ended up as a quaint cottage.... very simple....very cozy....very perfect to us.

And a few little gingerbread trees just for munching!  Mmmmm. This year I used a different recipe from one of my favorite bakers.  You can find her recipe here!  Thanks, Glory, for all of your mouth-watering recipes... I haven't found one yet that I haven't fallen in love with:)

Can't wait to share some more Christmas cookies soon....
