Show and Tell Friday (1/4)

Show and Tell

Wow...it has been a while since I have taken part. I don't have anything "magnificent" to show, but I thought I would share some baking the children and I have done the past month. Before Christmas the children and I tried our hand at gingerbread cookies. I have never made them before. They turned out pretty well if I say so myself! ;)

Then, we made a snowman cake for when we had friends over last week. The children had so much fun making him. Will definitely have to make another one soon!

Love 'em both!! I've never seen a 'snowflake' cake snowman before, what a unique and very cute holiday treat. I made gingerbread men cookies too this year....but I was lazy I didn't ice them, just put raisins for eyes and buttons. LOL

A fantastic Show N Tell.

Such wonderful times spent letting the children learn to bake. I think they turned out so well and I know they were extra special to them because "they" did it.

How nice that you were able to spend time with the kids baking. I think your gingerbread people look fantastic! (I have never made them before - but I do not think they would look that good:)

Your snowman cake is just too cute! Reminds me of the bunny cake we used to make when I was a kid. Love the gingers too!

As one who was never able to have children, I beg to differ with your comment. You have much in your life that is magnificent, and I say that in the kindest and most respectful way. I only wish that I could show you cookies that I had been able to make with my children.

Your cookies are GORGEOUS!!!!

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
