Over the past week we've received about four feet of snow...it looks and feels like a winter wonderland! However, it makes the Christmas tree hunt a bit more complicated...
...Yup...after careful contemplation (all of 3 seconds) we decided it would be best to postpone what is sure to be a major expedition this year until Brother DillyDally gets home on Tuesday!
The vandal has been caught...in the act...very naughty kitty...she is sure to be on Santa's naughty list!
Teacup is famous for having a serious sweet tooth...after all...she is a DillyDally! I'm not sure if you noticed, but in the photo of the Gingerbread barn yesterday some of the scroll work on the front and the tip of the tree was missing...I'm just trying to keep it in one piece until Brother gets home to see it. When the kids were little...after they had made their houses...every morning they would rush down stairs to see what Teacup had eaten during the night! She only likes the royal frosting...and will bite off pieces of candy only to chew and lick the frosting off of it!
I spent most of today dillydallying in the kitchen...
Swedish Pepparkakor is a thin, crisp ginger cookie...excellent with a cup of coffee or tea...I frost mine with vanilla candy coating rather than the traditional icing...the icing tends to make them soft and we like them crisp. It just isn't Christmas without them!
Many years ago, life was especially hectic one Christmas...and the traditional lefse did not get made...young son declared that it was the "worst Christmas ever"! Well...we can't allow that to happen again...so today we made lefse. Mr. DillyDally served as assistant...and took his responsibilities very seriously...
It's beginning to feel more and more like Christmas...
I wish you peace...
