i have decided to update some of the special events that happened during dec 2009 before things are forgotten and not recorded! one of the special event was whole day baking gingerbread cookies on 23rd dec with nesa and baby r!
started making some gingerbread minis on 22nd and they turn out not too ideal as the shape of the GB figure turned out alittel fat! baby r was very interested in what i was doing and she actually managed to reach out to the cut out GB dough got one of it when i was taking photo of her and SQUESHED it! she is getting really fast in her action!
on the 23rd, we were very lucky to be able to get red and white ready icing for piping! i really had no time to do it and esp wash after making it! after discussion, we decided to make candy canes to give away to Gx's collegues and nesa's paternal side. we did some snowflakes and we made enough big GB girl and boy for me to give away to my relatives with kids. made a special box of GB family for my neighbour. her GB mama is wearing a maternity dress and the little heart on her is to represent the baby in her tummy!
afraid that there would not be enough dough, nesa and i comb the supermarket to get some xmasy shortbread to decorate and added those to a family box of cookies esp for my other aunts and uncles. then i assemble a special box esp for my family! tried making candy stained glasss cookies for the 1st time. its pretty but rather sticky! made my very own GB family!
how did we bake with baby r around? with her cooperation, when i needed to get the tray out from the hot oven, or i needed to pipped a sample for nesa to follow, baby r would be either in the cot and nesa have to entertain her or they would be on the sofa and nesa would be telling little baby r to sit down constantly! by the end of the session, we were both very tired and baby r was too but i guess she had the most fun watching us and torturing little aunty nesa!
