The Gingerbread Man

Every time I think about Labor Day, the first thing that comes to mind is making a gingerbread man. Okay, so maybe it's not the first thing that comes to mind, but it is one of the things that we did yesterday as we enjoyed our Labor Day holiday!

My mom had a gingerbread mix that she had bought this summer on vacation and she thought Parker and Addison would enjoy making a "fall" gingerbread man. She got M&M's in fall colors and let them decorate it for our dessert last night.

My mom helped with the icing and Parker and Addison helped put the M&M's on the gingerbread man. We tried to overlook the constant licking of fingers and the occasional coughs/sneezes that occurred during the decorating process and focus on the fact that they were having a great time!

After they finished the decorating, everyone got to taste a little piece of Parker and Addison's masterpiece. As you can see by their chocolate smiles, they all thought it was very yummy!

Thanks again Granna for such a fun treat!
