Gingerbread Cookies

This year's Christmas preparations have taken on a bit of an odd mojo. My dad passed away last Sunday and the planning for his funeral has taken a top priority in terms of time management. While my dad's funeral is a big deal, we don't want to lose the feeling of Christmas and all of the festivities that go along with it. We do have our tree up (stay tuned for that post) and Annika and I were able to get a batch of gingerbread cookies made ... it took us four days to accomplish, but we did it!

A gingerbread cookie isn't complete without sprinkles!

Did we mention the sprinkles??
