The Gingerbread Man

A few days ago Mike brought over a box of Gingerbread Men for the boys to make.

They love the story of the gingerbread man so this was perfect!

Bubby made his right away because he wanted to eat it:

 Saxon took a lot of time and was really meticulous, and Dalton tried to copy him.

 When Dalton finished, I said "Look at the camera!" and this is what he did:

 Then I had to clarify, "SMILE" and this is what we got:

 For the third try I said, "Dalton, open your eyes!"

And so of course, this is what I got:

Poor guy was getting confused at this point...

 Fourth try looks a little stressed so we stopped there:

 But this is how his awesome gingerbread boy turned out:

 The first thing they wanted to do when they finished was eat them :)

 And here is Saxon's masterpiece.  He worked really hard on it and spent a lot of time.  He's so artistic!

 Saxon and the gingerbread man:

 I was feeling kind of bummed that we hadn't gotten around to making gingerbread houses this year.  We have just been soooo busy!  But Mike saved the day with the gingerbread men :)
