Ian and I went over to his parents’ house today for a day of baking with his family. We made all the usuals: sugar cookies, almond tree cookies, rum balls, and crullers.

And the ones I’m most proud of, this year’s addition of gingerbread cookies:

After all the other cookies, no one else was interested in decorating the gingerbread cookies, so I drew on all of them. The first few were pretty boring because I didn’t know what I was doing, so I was just outlining the shapes. But after I got the hang of things, I started getting more detailed — patterns on shirts and dresses, pockets, ties, different hair styles, etc. Plus, we also made some pets for the gingerbread people, so the dogs got spots, the birds got wings, and the stegosaurus got polka dotted and striped.
