On to the post...
After the train ride, everyone went back to Oma and Opa's house. And later that night, Clara decorated a gingerbread house and the boys decorated gingerbread trains! It was so much fun! I'm actually amazed that the gingerbread got decorated, mainly because the toddlers were eating every bite of candy they could! Little munchkins!
Here's Will decorating the top of his train.
Look at that focus! He worked so hard at decorating for the first five minutes. Then he ate for a solid 20! He started the nibbling craze, and the others were quick to join in! We quickly learned that sugar is the devil!!!
Here are Ben and Steve working hard!
And Kurtis and Clara!
My job was to hold the roof together. It slid apart twice. The third time was a charm, thanks to Kurtis' patience!
Nibble nibble.
In the background of this next photo, Steve is squirting frosting in Ben's mouth! Sick!
Ben kept calling the frosting puddin', which was adorable!
Don't mind our disheveled looking little girl. She has just woken up from her nap when we started decorating!
It was so much fun to decorate with the three wee ones! I think decorating gingerbread objects may become a tradition. And I gotta say, the kits are where it's at! We considered baking the gingerbread house pieces with Cynth's Pampered Chef gingerbread house stone, but the kits made everything easy! One thing we'd do differently is assemble the houses/trains during nap time and then let the kids decorate! We gotta remember that tidbit next year! The construction made the process just a little long for them!
Once again, thanks Oma and Opa for the special time! We loved it!
PS - Where in the world did the gingerbread house and trains end up? I didn't see them after the night of the 23rd!
THE TRASH! That's where they ended up.
