25 Days of Christmas: Day 6

My friend Kristen invited us over for a play date this morning. She picked up gingerbread men decorating kits from the Publix bakery. The kids were SOOOOOOO excited. These were the biggest, perfect looking gingerbread cookies you have ever seen. They were delicious too, some gingerbread men can look yummy but taste like sawdust but these guys tasted every bit as good as they looked!

Mia and Livie were excited to start decorating.

John Will used the “one for me and one for you” method of decorating… one on the cookie, one in his mouth. This seemed to be the trend for Livie too… only if it weren’t for the three hundred candies she put on her cookie.

Careful not to waste on single candy, Livie gingerly places each one on her cookie.

Lauren loved every minute of it, I’m surprised she actually took to the time to decorate it instead of scarfing it down immediately. This child is all about snacks.

Yep, just as I thought, always room for one or 50 more candies.
