Gingerbread Man 12.23

Matt felt it was really important to download the story of the Gingerbread Man since we didn’t own it. He wanted Sadie to have a real experience with it so he read it and then made one with the kids.
They liked playing with the dough.

Here is their product.

While Sadie was going to the bathroom, the gingerbread man ran away!

Sadie and Matt went all over looking for him. They looked at our neighbors house, the people who live below us, and the park before coming home. Sadie was a little sad that she couldn’t find him but she found little gingerbread droppings at each of the places so she knew he was there.
We finally found him behind our Christmas tree!

We enjoyed eating him although Sadie was a little nervous about eating him at first.

What a fun new tradition to start for our little family. I am sure Matt will have to get more elaborate every year.
