It's A Baking Theme....

....to this weekend. First a gingerbread house, and then a cookie party.

Yesterday, my friend Susan invited me to her annual pfeffernuse cookie baking party. And, as usual, it was a real hoot.

Susan's home was beautifully decorated, Christmas music was playing softly in the background, and the air was fragrant with that yummy scent of baking treats. We turned out some spectacular cookies.

Oh, and since several of the decorators were teenaged boys? Some of the cookies were.......unfortunate. Of course.

Yes. That is indeed an armless gingerbread boy. And an exploding bomb.

Festive.
