Good afternoon! Today on the Gingham Twins Cooking Hour, we will be baking one of our favorite Christmas cookies, the Ginger Snap.

Maringy, Lucy

First we must taste test the sugar........yes, that sugar is just fine. Thank you Lucy!

And that's it! The Ginger Snap, it's that easy! All you need is sugar and a twin sister. Happy baking!

Meeting Santa 2008

We were soooooo excited to meet Santa, then not sooooooo excited when we got there. He did give us some Jingle Bells which was nice, so we've got that going for us. ;-)

And have perfected the art of lounging. Here we are watching Monty Python's Flying Circus....

Eating and lounging, eating and lounging, yet, we are still pipsqueaks! We have three words for Mama and Dada, "More ice cream!". At our weight check yesterday we came in at 21 pounds 11 ounces (Lucy) and 22 pounds 9 ounces (Marigny). Actually, our Doc was really pleased, it was the largest jump we have taken on the weight chart! And we are still little enough to take baths in very tiny places......

I know, I know, it's been 10 days with no blogging! Well, we're back. And, no, I don't have the mumps.

Lucy

I just like to store grapes in my cheeks, you know, just in case.

In case I get hungry, you silly goose!

That sissy of mine, what a nutter-butter.

Fall is in full swing at Grandma and Papa's house and there is so much to do and see.
Grandma and Lucy

Papa has been busy feeding the deer so we gave him a hand putting some corn out....

It sure was a lot of work!
Lucy, Marigny

Between chores and meals we like to start new fashion trends such as this one which we call "Underpants Outerpants".
Marigny

And with fashion trends there are runway poses #1.....

We are also budding artists as you can see here. This is the beginning of our three-amigos-masterpiece.

Snuggle time with Sissy
Lucy, Marigny

Snuggle time with Coco! Coco decided to return to the big city after a months long hiatus in the North Woods. Welcome back Coco!
Lucy, Marigny, Coco

Coco was a reluctant participant in Halloween.

Actually, we all were pretty reluctant to wear costumes.....
Lucy

We had no idea what this "Halloween" was all about....
Marigny

Everyone looked different.....
Bea and Marigny

All the neighborhood dresser-uppers. Bea is holding us both, just up and to the left of the Obama sign.

Hmmm, you get candy and all you have to do is say "trick or treat"? Maybe we do like this Halloween thing.
Peter the Shark, Lucy & Marigny (Little Stinkers)

We had to take a candy-break and fuel up for more trick-or-treating.
Lucy, Peter, Marigny

Dada and Lucy feeling the sugar buzz, whee!

Playdough and pjs, the best way to end Halloween.
Marigny, Grandma, Lucy

The next day we drove down to Wabasha (yep, the Grumpy Old Men town) to see some more family.
