Gingerbread Creations & Preschool Performance

We made some pretty "sweet" gingerbread creations (from scratch) + this year to be entered into the town contest.

Kaitlyn putting some decor on her house.

Tyson opted for a gingerbread scene. He wanted Gingy (from Shrek) and a horse and a campfire. So he ended up being cowboy Gingy.

So many choices.

Morgan's was carefully planned out

Devin's contribution. Actually we kept noticing the gum drops disapearing from the houses when they were drying...he was the guilty party.

The finished product, complete with a snowman, fire ring and waffle cone Christmas tree.

Morgan was proud of her rainbow pattern gumdrop walkway.

Devin ate her waffle cone tree when we weren't looking so we had to make one out of graham cracker.

Tyson had his preschool party early in December.

They also made Gingerbread houses out of graham crackers.

Finished product, complete with Gummy Bear driven sleigh. Even Santa was a gummy.

Then low and behold look who showed up. 

He was nervous but he did manage to ask Santa for a racecar (a real one that he can drive). 
Way to aim big buddy!

Then it was time for their play explaining the nativity scene. Tyson was...the donkey. 

He did awesome as was very excited

They all lined up to play a song using bells. I couldn't get them all the way across but it was funny to see that he's an entire head taller than everyone in his class.

Present time! Each kid brought a wrapped ornament to exchange. 

Tyson got a cute little snowman.

Finally snack time. He's getting so grown up and we were proud to see how well he behaves in class.
