Second Christmas festivity of the year: ours!
We set up our Christmas tree, complete with Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers in the background, Western food for dinner, and fresh cookies!
It’s a little small, but it was just $3 on the classifieds!
I made gingerbread cookies! I had to find a recipe that used corn syrup instead of molasses, and then I had to make the corn syrup and chop up fresh ginger since we didn’t have the powder. They turned out wonderfully; we’d like to make more to decorate when we’re back in the States.
Merry Christmas!
I have Dolly too and will play it to decorate the tree. We went to Home Depot and I sat in the truck because it was raining and Rex picked it out. Brought it to the check out and I got out and paid for it. Didn’t even roll it out and look at shape. I didn’t have help to pick it out. It was hard but the tree shape is really good.
A real tree and fresh ginger gingerbread cookies–how awesome is that?! Love it. Hoping I can replicate that next year :). I have a lot to learn from you guys anyway.
yay for decorating! Very cute pictures you guys!
The next best thing to decorating WITH you is seeing the pictures! We can’t wait to play Kenny and Dolly when you’re HERE!!!
Those cookies look so great! Cant wait to see you guys!!
I love it! It just fits you.
We are singin’ along with Dolly here and getting ready for you!
