All of the frosting is premixed in separate decorator bags. And all of the candy is individually separated in separate compartments -- someone as anal as me must have come up with that one & I'm so grateful. We got set up, put some oversized t-shirts on everyone laid out some sheets and towels since we decided to decorate in the family room vs the kitchen since it would be easier for the kids to participate.
Jace checking out mechanics of all of this
Brooklyn jumping right in
Brooklyn patiently (almost) waiting her turn.
ok, one side nearly done.... no, it's supposed to look like that, really!
Cole eating dinner under the Christmas tree and admiring the lights
Two sides ... see they both look that way
Some of the candies were harder to push on to the house than others
Helping Dad apply the frosting
Now preferring to watch dad
Apparently very pleased with herself or her dad's handy work
Brooklyn taking a turn at applying some trim
And all four sides done and investigating how we'll put the tree together
Jace being extra careful - wouldn't want to mess up this masterpiece
Apparently the this was the only way Brooklyn could take a picture -- smile & close our eyes
Really, we have a whole bunch of these!
The smiles got bigger, but the eyes stayed close
Even this one with mom.
It's like the house got decorated without her knowledge
TA DA!!
Cole relaxing & checking out all of the commotion.
And the finished product (well the trees are off camera -- but we finished them) and still with her eyes closed!
Definitely a hit for the whole family. Hopefully we don't lose all of our gingerbread making skills in the next year.
