Peanut loves to read and one of his favorite books this year is "The Gingerbread Baby". I like it because I have memories of reading it to my students this time of year when I was teaching. Of course sharing it with my own child makes it even sweeter (pardon the pun)! It is a cute little story of a boy that is impatient while baking his gingerbread man and opens the oven too early. Not quite a "man" yet, out pops the gingerbread baby! He races around the town terrorizing the villagers until the boy gets the bright idea of baking a gingerbread house to lure him into.
A good read before building a gingerbread house of our own!
Little hands were sneaking the décor as soon as they were opened!
Some building and lots of chewing going on. Smile
Harder than it looks...
Peanut enjoyed decorating in addition to eating...
Looking good guys!
A beautiful finished product! Have a happy holiday friends and family!
