This Fall has been particularly busy with work for both Andy and me and sports for the boys, my school semester went all the way up to a final exam on Thursday night the 21st, and the boys were in school until yesterday the 22nd. All of this combined means, other than Advent readings each night, we haven't done anything else "Christmas'y", like baking. This was one of my favorite things to do as a kid, baking Christmas goodies (and eating them throughout the Christmas season). I kind of hated that it was so late in the season to do this with the boys (and the late exam date plus a big work project due the week before had me in a stressed out funk about it), but was glad to get it marked off the list just the same. We had a condensed "menu" this year, just three things. Gingerbread loaf, red and white striped sugar cookies, and (que eye roll) healthy quinoa truffles.
I managed the gingerbread (which we had for dinner!) and the truffles, while the boys enjoyed rolling out the dough, forming candy canes, snowmen and wreaths, and after they were cooled globbing icing and sprinkles on top! I thought they turned out really cute.
