Gingerbread Babies

Here are a few pictures of the Gingerbread Babies that I made for Allie-Ann's preschool Christmas party. I had the best time making them, it's so much fun to bake and create. I LOVE it. One day I hope I can work at a bakery just to make cakes, cookies and cupcakes. They tasted good too, according to Allie-Ann who wanted more after eating her gingerbread baby.

On another note, I'm so excited about Christmas and all the festivities just around the corner. I have all my shopping down, so I can now really focus on cooking and baking. I have to share a funny story about Allie-Ann's Christmas gift list. This is our conversation.

Me: "Allie-Ann what would you like "Ho Ho" to send you for Christmas this year?"
Allie-Ann: ............pause........pause.."A kitchen!!!"
Me: "Oh, that sounds wonderful, did you want anything else besides a kitchen for "Ho Ho" to bring?"
Allie-Ann:............pause...........pause...."Chicken nuggets!!!"

So, it's looks like a play kitchen with chicken nuggets this year. Too funny!! She still says the same things when I ask her, so I'm sure Santa can pull this one off without a hitch.

We've also been talking about baby Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas. She LOVES baby Jesus and will point him out each morning when seeing our Nativity scene. I just love it!!
