Where is the Gingerbread man?



While Ian and our houseguests hammered out yard work for 5 hours on Saturday, I was left to entertain the girls part of the morning. Our new tradition is to take the heavy cream container used in the preparation of the dressing at Thanksgiving, wash it and turn it into a gingerbread house to kick start the Christmas holiday season. To top it off, we used candy that we set aside from Halloween. Lucy worked diligently to decorate the house. Harper worked very hard to eat as much as I would allow. The only worry when we were finished (other than keeping out of Harper's candy-loving hands) was where the gingerbread man was. Lucy is on the prowl for him. He's on the way, in the next cookie-making session.
