They found out it was kind of tough to roll out the gingerbread dough after it had been in the refrigerator. But they both stuck with it and with Grandma's help, they got the dough rolled out to the correct thickness. They liked to use the cookie cutter and each made a few gingerbread boys. As Cannon was lifting one of his gingerbread boys up with the spatula, one of the arms tore a bit. So he asked if it would be okay to have a "one-arm gingerbread boy." So he ate the dough of the one arm!
As the gingerbread boys were baking, they decorated the sugar cookies. I loved watching the concentration on their faces. Colson needed some help to frost the cookies but he loved putting on the sprinkles. Cannon did a great job all by himself.
What a great tradition. And a few of these were chosen to set out for Santa! Made with love...
