Ginger Bread Train

It was time for the annual building of the ginger bread house except this year I think that Trevor convinced Brigitte to get a train instead so this year it was the ginger bread train. It was great because the kit came with all ready made frosting so we did not have to make it. That is always such a pain. I built the train up and then let the kids decorate it.

The kids were having fun decorating the train. They started by handing the candy to me to put them on the train.

But then they started getting into the decorating on their own.

Maya always had to show us the piece of candy before putting it on the train.

I had to add more frosting where they wanted it to give them more places to place the candy.

It got to a point where the candy had to be tested in the mouth before it went on the train.

Trevor was deep in thought as to whether the train was complete or not. He had to make the decision because there was more candy but they wanted to eat it.

The final train decorated. I would usually cover the whole thing in frosting but was not in the mood to do that this year. Besides the kids got to the frosting before I got a chance.
