Gingerbread Houses and Christmas Songs


We have a christmas tradition of making gingerbread houses, which I used to do with my sisters in Utah, sob, sob, but this year was no exception, and was very fun might I add.

I had my primary class (12-year-old girls) over to make to houses last night. I baked all afternoon and the house smelled divine!! Miss L's house is the one with peppermint...she insisted on using the pink frosting left over from her B-day party because she is girly girl.

We had a lot of fun, ate a lot of M&Ms, and told urban legends ( I think they will all be scared for their future babysitting jobs) and they all got a little voice lesson. The girls practiced hard too because they are going to sing this song on Sunday.

Apple Dumplings

I have had these every year since I was little for my birthday. that and chicken cordon bleu. 1 pastry for 9" pie 2 c. brown sugar 1 c. water 4 baking apples. Cinnamon and Sugar Peel and Core Apples. (If you don't want the serving so big you can cut the apples in half). Sprinkle Cinnamon and Sugar in them and wrap them in pie dough. Put them in a pan. Over the stove stir 2 c. brown sugar and 1 c. water and some cinnamon until bubbly, pour over apples. Bake 50-80 minutes ad 425F. (This depends on the pie dough, you don't want it raw at all or it tastes gross, so for whole apples longer, smaller apples shorter. )
