In the meantime, Lily was cuddling on the couch, refused to have any pictures taken, doing her best do get better again. Her temperature was back to normal again today, but she still stayed home from kindergarten just to give her an extra day to recover. She used the time to tidy up her room to a degree I have never seen before. She was so proud when we praised her for it today. Hope her cough will get better, tomorrow's her kindergarten outing to the woods, and we're not sure yet if she should go. The temperatures are around freezing today, and we had the first little flurries of snow. Winter is coming, folks!*

Oh I am jealous that you were busy baking! I guess I will only make one sort: "Ausstecherle" with Sunny.
ReplyDeleteOhh, Ausstecherle are the best! I had some gingerbread dough left over to let Violet make some cut-outs, but I'm really looking forward to making the butter cookies with them ;-)
DeleteYay for holiday baking! I will start mine next week, I can't wait for the house to smell of yummy goodies. :)
ReplyDeleteWhich sorts are you making, Jen? I made the gingerbread cut-outs and marzipan bites this weekend, planning on sugar cookies, vanilla crescents, cinnamon stars, German gingerbread, and coconut macaroons in the weeks to come...
DeleteHave not started holiday baking here yet, but cannot wait. Totally love baking. Freezing here too and winter is coming now for sure. Also, love the new blog look and you did an awesome job :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Janine :-) It was fun playing around a little and learning a lot about the designing stuff. Again, thanks a lot for the tip with PicMonkey :-)
DeleteHave fun baking! I can't wait to decorate the gingerbread house with the girls this weekend!!
How fun!!! I LOVE Christmas baking!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it, too! So special treats :-)
DeleteYum & yum!
ReplyDeleteThey are so delicious. Love holiday cookies :-)
DeleteAll we've done so far is bake some Snickerdoodles to take to Thanksgiving. Looking forward to making Christmas cookies since we didn't get to last year.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where the quote came from.
I hope Lily is well enough to go on her class trip.
Snickerdoodle sound awesome, Christine! Please share once you get into the holiday baking. I should have a cookie recipe link-up some time :-)
DeleteThe quote is from The Song of Ice and Fire (TV series is called "Game of Thrones"). It's the motto of the House of Stark.
