here comes the gingerbread kid


it all started out innocent enough. zoe was very excited to make some pepparkakor or gingerbread cookies as we english speakers call them. she got her cookie cutters out and ready, and even put on her little gingerbread baker apron. not to mention, we invited mormor over to join in the fun.



zoe was a really good baker, picked up on it right away, think it might have to do with all those hours of playing with her play-doh. mormor helped her to refine her rolling expertise, and all seemed as if it was going well, but girls will be girls...
thats right, they got into a flour fight. silly kids, i think zoe might have won, mormor claimed she was covered head to toe. zoe of course played all innocent...
who could have done it? i sure don´t know and neither did zoe. these things just happen you know. is that thomas trying to roll zoe´s hand into the cookies? what kind of pappa is that?
no, silly momma, we are just making handprints for christmas tree decorations. see?
the cookies mostly turned out, though we burned a few being so caught up in the cookie rolling and cutting process, we forgot to watch the oven. talk about short attention spans, these cookies only need about 5 minutes to bake, but we just could not remain vigilant. go figure.

Hi Eimi, What a lovely family you have! I've heard bits and pieces from Jessica whenever I ask "Heard from Eimi?" And she told me you were well and happy in Sweden with husband and daughter. I found your mama on Facebook, so check it out to catch up with us and our family. Much love and best wishes for a happy Christmas and New Year,
