Gingerbread

I grew up with the tradition of decorating sugar cookies every Christmas (and many other holidays during the year.) I have tried to continue this tradition, but with the busy-ness of the season, it's just too much to prepare and clean up, so this year I gave up! And we tried something new: decorating gingerbread men/women. It's a much more manageable task (no sprinkles to roll all over the house!) and I only made one large one for each of us to decorate. Perfect for FHE last week.

Can you guess which one Cat decorated?

Last week Cat also got to make a "Gingerbread" House for a family fun day at school. They used graham crackers and small milk cartons--perfect! This is what Cat came up with:

(Side note: I was very proud of myself because I let her do it all herself! Other parents there were telling their children what candy to use, where to put it, and how to put it on. I mostly just advised on the most efficient use of frosting, since there was barely enough for all the kids.)
