We read The Gingerbread Man. I love this story because we all fall in love with the gingerbread man, and then he gets EATEN. So many stories these days have cushiony endings. Everyone lives happily ever after. Not the gingerbread man. He's dead. It's good for kids to read these kinds of stories to remind them that things happen. Same as in the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf dies. He isn't welcomed into the village of happily ever after. It's good.
I am guilty of using a bag mix for our gingerbread cookies. It saved me some time and cost. The kids had their aprons on and were helping with the mixer.
They all did a great job using the cookie cutters! Any chance to get their hands dirty is a good thing. ☺
Chippy showed up for some treats, too!
We got out the decorating supplies. Complete with gumdrop buttons. ♥
Mmmm, "Which one do we get to eat?"
That one!
The kids took their cookies home to share with their families. It was a really fun time! These kids are SO good.
Meanwhile, our son Ethan had his first basketball game on Friday! My handsome hubby is the coach, and is looking for an assistant coach to help on Tuesday and Thursday practices. See the tall kid? That's ours! I'd say he's chosen the correct sport. Happy Monday!♥♥♥
