Today we had our annual gingerbread man decorating party. We had ten kids altogether. I love to see the kids engaged and having fun. The gingerbread men turn out having so much personality! 

When the kids are done decorating things always seem to degrade a little. Some kids end up eating almost all of their cookies and shoving handfuls of sprinkles in their mouth. Fueled by said sugar – they start running around screaming like lunatics. The jolly little stinkers also brazenly devoured ten precious candy canes that I had paid too much for and had sitting as a display on the shelf. One girl picked up one of the houses from our Christmas village and, with a gleam in her eye, professed how much she “reeeeally” liked it. I could tell she was smitten and was hoping I would give it too her. I found a couple girls running around the house with frosting dispensers in their mouths like baby bottles. I had a laugh and then I put an end to that!  

It’s all good fun even with the holiday inspired mischief.
