This was the first time we made gingerbread anything. I’ve wanted to try it for a couple of years but knew that Miggz was probably still too young in the years earlier. I thought this year was just right…he is three years and four months old, and can actually help out with the building and decorating.
Instead of making the traditional gingerbread house, we opted for a gingerbread train kit.
This is me doing a little prep work while Miggz looks on…he’s got his hands near the red and green M&M’s for easy access 🙂
And the rest of our photos chronicling what we hope would be a yearly Christmas tradition from here on…
Candy in his hands = candy in his mouth! Hence, that smile!!!

Create an annual Christmas tradition by purchasing a kit like this for less than $10 at your local grocery or arts & crafts store.

He enjoyed alternating between eating and decorating the gingerbread train!

“M” is for Miguel.

This is me enjoying this activity, probably a LOT more than Miguel did!
The finished product 😉
Can’t wait to make another one next year!!
  
I'm Kaye. I am Philippine-born and raised but lived most of my life in central New Jersey. A year after becoming a NewMamma, my little family--made up of me, husband and baby boy--made the move of our lives from the Northeast to the Southwest. We now call sunny Arizona our home, where I am discovering the joys, challenges and triumphs of new motherhood. Since moving, I am grateful my decision to put my career on pause allows me to explore new avenues to support my family as well as time to travel, expand my knowledge, and discover new friendships and adventures along the way with my husband, son, and new baby girl. I keep track of all my memoirs and musings during this exciting time here in my NewMamma Diaries.
