I recently blogged about Michael's love for the Gingerbread Man, which got me thinking about whether or not he would be ready to decorate some gingerbread cookies. I stopped by Williams Sonoma and I found a Gingerbread Boy cookie cutter and picked it up just in case. After hearing the weather forecast yesterday, I decided that we would need a fun project to keep us busy if we were house bound, so we went for it. I picked up all the ingredients at the store so we would be ready. While Michael napped today I quickly made the cookies and Mike got all of the candy ready. When Michael woke up, he couldn't believe his eyes! The project went over a lot better than I thought it would. Michael ate way too much candy and Mike almost had a heart attack because he thought Michael was going to develop juvenile diabetes right then and there.
This is what Michael woke up to.
Trying out some candy before decorating.
Getting the hang of it.
Pretty creative.
Having more samples.
The Gingerbread Boy starting to take shape.
When Mike and I weren't looking, Michael would try to eat candy. When we caught him he would take the half eaten candy out of his mouth and place it on his Gingerbread Boy...gross.
Believe it or not, this is his "smile."
Enjoying the fruit of his labor.
Not too bad for our first attempt.

How Fun!
What a lucky little man :)
Decorating the gingerbread cookies is almost as fun as eating them. Glad you guys are enjoying the snowy weather!
I agree with Jess, you're house is way too much fun. I'm sending Noah over on the next snow day.
