Gingerbread Cookies for our Tree

After School on Friday, my family made gingerbread dough for cookies on our tree! It's always a very long process, but we have a great time every year. Something we did a little differently is inviting over Mark and Daphne Miller, and their new baby girl, Italia. Daphne was Carson's teacher in 1st grade, and her and my mom have been friends ever since. She and her husband got married in our old backyard.

Well they arrived around 6:00 and we ate Apple-Pecan Salad, and my Dad's ORIGINAL homemade chicken and cheese tortolini soup. Then me made some frosting and began to decorate the cookies. We always get creative, what with giving the gingerbread girls bikinis or stabbing a boy with a "daggar". You'd have to see the actual tree to get the full impact, but they are pretty adorable despite their uniqueness. (More like KING FAMILY-NESS!) :D
