A Little Snapshot of Our Christmas Season

december-christmas

.  .  .

Merry Christmas to all of you!  I know it has been awhile since my last blog post and I hope to get back to posting more in the near future.  My reasons for the long gap is basically due to the ongoing technical difficulties that have been occupying my time for the past few months. Most of the situations have been solved, and the rest will have to be addressed later.   I made a decision to separated myself from it -for now to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the holiday season.  I still periodically post on Instagram if you are wondering or wanting to know what Bill and I are currently up to. There you will find pictures of our daily life, ideas, and whatever interests us (mostly me).  Here in this blog post I have included some pictures from White Gunpowder Instagram along with other pictures that I took during the month of December.  The above picture is of our little red shed/chicken coop that Bill built to house our chickens.  It was taken earlier this month during  a snow storm. It made for a pretty Christmas picture with a simple wreath hanging on the door.

I hope you enjoy a moment here and Merry Christmas!

Thank you God for sending your only begotten Son to save us… peace on earth and good will to men. Continue Reading →

Making and Decorating Gingerbread Cookies

Gingerbread cookies

.  .  .

Making and decorating gingerbread cookies and gingerbread houses has been a part of our family Christmas tradition for many years.  It’s that time again. With a few basic Christmas cookie cutters {pine trees, stars and gingerbread man} and white Royal icing we’ve been busy baking and decorating gingerbread cookies {recipes for gingerbread cookies and royal icing, here}.  I’ve adjusted this recipe over the years and have found a good balance in the flavor and texture.  The cookie dough has a sweet flavor and not too spicy for the kids.  When baked the cookies will hold theirs shapes well.  They are great for eating, decorating, and for giving as gifts.

The Christmas season is upon us.  Bill, the kids, and I will be driving out to visit the Christmas tree farm this weekend; the decorations will be brought out from storage; and the sounds of Christmas music will be heard throughout the house.  As the shopping season begins, We wanted to share some of our favorite gift ideas. The products have been tested, used, and enjoyed by us or our dog, Glory.  It was fun putting the list together and we hope they will help you cross off one or more Christmas presents this season.
