Gingerbread Men

 Josh and I were lucky enough to be able to spend some time in Arizona this past week.  It was so nice and we even had a day we had to turn on the air conditioner.  I have so many things that I want to do with the boys this season, that our trip put me a little behind in the Christmas schedule.

I have always wanted to make gingerbread men and finally did with the boys last Sunday.  We watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional and then decorated our gingerbread men. 

 I had made the dough earlier that day and I used this recipe.  They really tasted so GOOD!

 I gave each of the boys a snack baggie filled with icing and cut off one of the corners.  We learned that they key to being able to do anything with this contraption for icing is a very small hole.  I used this recipe. 

 McKay ate a lot of the gingerbread cookies, (as did I)

 Hunter's masterpiece.

 Josh even got into the spirit of things. 

 His gingerbread...person had hair.  It looks like dreadlocks to me.  He really has some serious talent.

 Palmer's were so cute too!

Lincoln's were pretty cute too.

I have to admit I really liked decorating the gingerbread men.

These were my creations.

This was Lincoln's last creation.  I definitely think this needs to be a new Nelson tradition.
