More Pictures from Christmas

Yum.

Dear Boys,

A recipe you should know... 

Marie's Gingersnaps:

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp of:  ginger, cinnamon, cloves

cream butter and sugar.  add molasses.  add egg.  add combined dry ingredients.  chill dough for an hour.  bake at 325 (NOT 350) for 9-11 min.

They go down easy.  Probably too easy.

And because I couldn't post on the blog without at least a few pics of James...

He had his two week check up and has grown an inch and gained a pound!  Big guy...
