Christmas is all about making cookies and gingerbread village (houses) together at home. A few days ago we make sugar cookies using toy cutting utensils to make the shapes of animals.
Here are the finished product of what we made. We then took the cookies to be shared in Primary class. The kids had an awesome fun time kneading the dough, rolling it flat, and cutting them into shapes. Mom help made the decorative frosting.
Then tonight on Christmas eve and instead of going shopping and going outside, we decide to make gingerbread houses which the box states it's a village.
Brennan's holding the four feet long instruction sheet to make these houses. You think it's simple hey?
First step: measure the correct amount of frosting mix and cut out the pre-cut ginger bread pieces.
Someone's totally ready for this!
So is he!
Now we have to figure how to put these walls together...
All hands-on work!
Ahhh...the frosting will hold the walls!
Ok..we now know why some sprinkles go missing...
How about adding some colorful frosting!
Below are the pictures from the box and the kids' finish products..Guess who's whose...
And we have a great photo of the makers and their finished ginger bread house!
And to top it off, Abbey made an all American dinner with delicious roast beef, hand peeled fresh mashed potatoes, mix veggies, and top it off with apple cider for all!
