This year I couldn't help but do it again (we've done it almost every year since we've been married), and we invited my younger brother and his girlfriend to come over and decorate them with us. We had a blast. Jackson even got in on the fun; well, that is the fun of eating all of the decorations!
Here he is high-fiveing (yes, my own word!) Uncle Ken who was helping him decorate, or "paint" as Jackson calls it, his gingerbread man.Ken gets the most-creative award for his hula-girl and surfer-dude. Can you find them in the pictures below?
Also, can you find:
1. Santa Claus?
2. Matt's stick person?
3. The referee and the b-ball player?
4. A bumblebee?
You can't tell on the camera, but Matt even made an anatomically correct woman using chocolate chips and painting over them to make a dress. Very creative.
That tradition is actually kind of inspiring. I want to make those now! I love the hula girl.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun tradition! and we love baking, we might have to copy you :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool tradition and the people all look very neat.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! Your people are VERY impressive! You've obviously had a little practice with the tradition. Cute idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious this has been a long-standing tradition...those are very creative gingerbread people! What fun! Next you should try creating specific people...celebrities, political figures, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition! I think they turned out great.
