Usually the day after Thanksgiving, all the ladies on Craig's side of the family get together and do a big cookie bake. It is always fun, but at the end of the day we are exhausted! So this year, we decided to switch things up and let the boys make gingerbread houses.
They had a great time using their creativity, getting sticky, sneaking candy and frosting and creating a gingerbread house to call their own. However, Hunter was disappointed in me that I couldn't do the fancy piping shown in the picture. I was doing it wrong, but somehow Jen convinced him that his house was cooler than the house in the picture and nobodies would be like his. (Thank you by the way!) He settled for that.
It was a fun activity and hope it will be a tradition that will continue throughout the years to come. And to see the progress made throughout the years. Maybe one day Hunter and I will get the fancy piping down.
The finished product.
I just had to laugh because Jasper used to be a stickler for such things too. I think at some point some developmental thing kicks in and their not quite so stuck on doing things just one way. Although I was pretty impressed how he just took the frosting dilemma into his own hands.:)
