Gingerbread

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours was very nice. We enjoyed spending time with our families we don't get to see very often. The time just seemed to go by too fast.
Mom knows we all like gingerbread, so she makes some for us every year about this time. I copied her recipe while I was there last week so I could share it with all of you! She always doubles it because we all like it so well. :)

Take care,
Melanie
