The storm knocked out our internet, cable and phone service yesterday. I guess that’s the price you pay when you purchase a bundled pkg.   Anyhoo, with a storm raging outside, I figured it would be the perfect time to get a little baking done.  I finished my chocolate millionaires and made more peppermint bark.

Then we started the gingerbread christmas tree. I messed up the frosting.  added red instead of yellow and blue food coloring.   In the end, I was able to get a somewhat green color for the frosting.  I made some extra stars to give away as gifts and for the kids to eat.  My house was covered in green frosting yesterday.

adding the sprinkles.

our first gingerbread tree.  doesn’t look exactely like the one on the box, but grace loved making it.  I’m thinking I should have doubled up on the stars.
