Gingerbread Train Derailed.

We got in to the holiday spirit this week by making a Gingerbread Train (a new era version of the gingerbread house). Nate sorted and directed. Tessa mostly tried to sneak the candy in her mouth before it made it to it's designated spot on the frosted and candied structure. We enjoyed the train for about a day and a half. Well, Nate and Tessa enjoyed it a little more than anyone as we kept noticing less wheels, bells, whistles and decorations on the train and more and more green, red and white lips, tongues and fingers in the house. Now it is a pathetic, finger-licked compilation of gingerbread forms and scant frosting. So much for taking pride in your work.
