Family Night Decorating Gingerbread Men!

Boys,

Last night we spent some time together as a family and decorated some Gingerbread Men! While we didn't make the Gingerbread Men from scratch or even bake them we had got a kit from the store that came with three already made Gingerbread Men and all we had to do was decorate them. Maybe someday down the road we can try to bake our own Gingerbread Men, but for now this was a good replacement.

We sat down at the kitchen table and split off into pairs! Mommy was with you Jonathan, and Benjamin you sat with Daddy. Mommy and Jonathan shared a Gingerbread Man because Jonathan you're not old enough yet to tackle your own. Benjamin and Daddy each had one as well. We had to decorate it by placing the icing wherever we wanted so that our candy would stick to them. The icing wasn't as soft as Daddy expected it to be so this made this task harder than it needed to be, but once we got the icing on Benjamin you chose to put the candy wherever you wanted to make it your own.

At one point Daddy wasn't thinking clearly and he opened up your bag of sprinkles Benjamin. You did the right thing with dumping it over the Gingerbread Man, but you didn't stop and dozens upon dozens of sprinkles went all over the floor! It wasn't enough for you to just dump those sprinkles on the floor after that you decided to keep pushing the sprinkles on the table towards the floor as well. Daddy tried to clea this up after we were done and Mommy was giving the two of you a bath, but of course Daddy missed some and Mommy found them making Daddy look silly! Cleaning up sprinkles that you can barely see is not a fun thing to do!

After our Gingerbread Men were made Daddy took a bite out of his just to see what it taste like and it turns out pre-made Gingerbread Men in the box like this our not too much pretty good, or not good at all. So we cleaned up the table and all of the mess we made and the two of you went off with Mommy to have your bath. After you each had your bath we all sat down to watch "Santa Buddies" to finish our family night. It is only November, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but we can start doing the Christmas things whenever we want!

And these pictures are how our Gingerbead Men ended up! Of Course Jonathan and Mommy had the best looking one!

Missed A Few Sprinkles,
