I had been promising the boys for days that we would make gingerbread men & & finally yesterday afternoon we did it! The boys helped make the dough (a packet one from Christmas I think!) and rolled and cut too. Hug was a star and completely able to do it all by himself and L needed a mama's helping hands - just a little. How cute are they.

The packet came with a *tube* of icing (a bit scary but fun!) & then - oh, well - I decided to go all out and got the sprinkles out too ;)

They were ready just before dinner so we served them for dessert and decorated our own at the table.

We served them with apple slices, so I didn't feel quite so bad about sprinkles at dinner time :)
