So when I say that we do gingerbread houses every year I actually mean that we make graham cracker houses and call it a gingerbread house contest. This year however we actually decorated gingerbread men which we hadn't done in years. Hunter got a cute book called The Gingerbread Pirates from school it is a great story. 
We cooked up the gingerbread men and then decorated them like little pirates. Hunter made the one with the missing leg and the eye patch. I love the one he made with the red and black striped pants and the white ruffled shirt. 
Ave's of course had to be wearing shoes and had Red Hots for hair which cracked us up.
I made the sad faced guy with the green belt and the guy with the happy eyebrows. 
Deke's were awesome. He is so good at the details. The guy with the skull and crossbones on his shirt. Sweet. The best I thought was the guy with the striped black and white that is all tattered at the bottom. 
Then we read the book as a family and tasted our crew. Emma sat in her high chair and wished she had teeth so she could join in the fun.
