Now, I know this is breaking tradition, but this Mom has got to maintain a little sanity this year!!! I quickly put the house kit back and snatched up the one above. Eight men and the icing and candies came inside. I was planning on using this as an activity for the weekend, but Jackson found the box last night. He begged and pleaded to go ahead and make his men so I let the boys open the kit last night.
The chefs are ready to begin!
Even Emma got to take part in the festivities...the boys let her lick the hand mixer beaters. She thought the icing was the best thing she had ever tasted.
We saw plenty of this when they were taken away...
Hope you all have a great weekend! I have a fabulous date lined up for Saturday with my favorite six year old!

Those cookies look wonderful! I love the look on Emma's face in the last picture...she looks like she has been robbed!
What a blast! Cute pictures! We also make gingerbread houses, however, we go to our local Children's Museum to do it. We always have a great time and I love leaving the mess there! We are making our house this Sunday afternoon. I can't wait!
It looks like all the kids enjoyed their GB treats!! I always buy the houses, but this year I didn't......we have a friend who is an artist and she makes her own GB kits. She is making four of them and a few of us our getting together with our kids Sat night so they can build them.....I can't wait to go:)
Sounds like you have something exciting planned this weekend....Have FUN!!
xo,

Love the last photo of Lexi - she looks so determined!
Looks like the cookie decorating was fun!
Emma is beautiful! I adore her hair. And I love the cookie idea-so much easier than the house kits. Good for you-going with easy!
What cute cookies!! I need to copy yoU:) Precious children.
Ohhhh I am so glad you posted about gingerbread people. I have never in my life done the houses and was not looking for to it. Just seems like too much stressful work building the thing. I think when the time comes, we'll do the gingerbread people here too.
Your boys are so funny. Looks like a good time was had by all - at least until the beaters were taken away!
So cute. ... LOVE their chef hats.I might be heading to the dreaded WM tomorrow...I will look for them.
