Cookie Party!
Yesterday Georgia and I made gingerbread cookies. We signed up to make the cookies for her preschool holiday party next week so this was just a warm up. You can see that her favorite part (which happens to be my least favorite part) was rolling out the dough. And using a TON of flour.
Cheater recipe that we used yesterday: Sandra Lee's Gingerbread Cookies (Now, Sandra Lee is not my favorite Food Network star, but not everyone can be Ina.)
BEST ginger cookie recipe EVER - Stacy and I made these a few years ago when we got together to make sweet treats to send to family and friends.
For both recipes (instead of cut outs or slices) I'd recommend that you scoop out balls of dough, roll them in sugar and pressed down with the bottom of a glass (or your palm, I suppose, but that is so not what Ina would do!). In the words of Rachael Ray - YUM-O!!

Breakfast with Santa!!
This morning we attended Breakfast with Santa at Georgia's preschool. While eating some treats, we were entertained with songs performed by each class. Georgia's class sang On Our Way to the North Pole. You can view the performance below. As expected, Georgia performed with gusto! [She is in the middle (usually - I apologize for my shaky camera work!) in the pink dress with white tights.]
As Georgia and the rest of her friends left the auditorium to return to the classroom, a classmate's mother told Georgia that she'd done a good job. Georgia asked, "What was your favorite part?"
After the performances, each class was allowed to visit with Santa. Georgia showed him the collage she made so he would know EXACTLY what she wants. Here she is with her classmates and teacher, Mrs. Booth, and later alone with Santa and her infamous American Girl collage.

"Gingerbread" House
The beauty of preschool is that the teachers willingly do all of the activities that I do not have the patience for! Today Georgia and her 10 classmates each decorated their own pre-made gingerbread house made from graham crackers and royal icing. Georgia was proud of her creation but was eager to eat all the candy! At least she waited until Brian came home to see it before eating a few pieces!
