This morning the cousins came over to create masterpieces of gingerbread, icing & candy (they make pre-formed kits for dummies, so they're really quite simple). Selah, Judah & Isaiah's creation was a train, with an engine and caboose...

Jacob & Helena also created a train...

And now it's time to add the candies! (Notice me desperately holding the engine together while the candies were violently placed in position)

I had to swallow my pride and let the kids decorate their own masterpiece (in the most haphazard way possible!!).


Somehow Wendy's train looked a bit less chaotic...
And Isabella's parents did most of her creating...
...except for the gumdrops!
Cute, and very fun! Thanks, Grandma! Now if we could just convince the kids not to eat them, we might be able to enjoy our icicle-laden, candy clad train for a few more days...
ah, yes, learning to let the kids decorate their crafts themselves...it gets easier ;)
