Christmas Eve 2011

We were so blessed to have my parents join us for Christmas this year.  We did our traditional making cookies for Santa this year.  Although we made our own sugar cookies and royal icing.  They turned out pretty good.  In fact Santa ate all three cookies we left for him.  I found the recipe for the cookies at Bake at 350's cut out cookie recipe.  I think I just googled royal icing and choose one that looked good.  I probably should have added more powder sugar to the icing as it was a little too thin. 

For Christmas Eve dinner we had ham.  It was quite good and I'm looking forward to making ham soup tomorrow with my frozen ham bone =).  Stay tuned for the Christmas day post!

Sophie playing with leftover dough.  I read that you should only re roll the dough once or it gets tough.  So she played with the leftover like playdough
