Virtual Gingerbread


 After little brother went down for his nap, me and H whipped up some gingerbread!  It must have been super humid, because the gingerbread dough ended up a little more like cake batter, but it was still delicious!  (Maybe even more so!)  I used our trusted Cutting Family Gingerbread recipe and Nanny's sugar cookie icing recipe, both tried and true recipes that never fail!  H wanted to eat them "right now!" and not wait for them to cook and ice and take to the "eighbors."  
After "bunny woked up" (his tot clock) we cut out the pieces and he quickly gobbled up the scraps before I could say no. 


After supper, we got all set to decorate!
 
 Mmmmm!  It's delicious!  
H decorated and ate one of the little scraps, and I gave C an un-iced piece to eat.  They both loved them!  I didn't quite think C was ready to ice them yet without eating everything and smearing icing all in his hair. 
 

 H was our sprinkle man.  He loves sprinkles!  He calls them sprinklers and likes them on unsweetened applesauce for a special treat!  Here are two trees for you!  Grab one and enjoy!


C really wanted to help, and I started putting the tiniest dribble of icing on his fingertip and he would savor it and beg for more!  All in all, it was a great evening activity.  We might just have to do it again before Christmas!
