Need something to decorate to achieve your own Expectations versus Reality scenario?

Gingerbread house

 

It’s a reusable Gingerbread house ($29.99)!  So can create and demolish over and over!  Forget all that tedious work of building a gingerbread house and just start the icing and the decorating. Yeah!  Buy it HERE!

    You can always pawn them off on the kids and tell them they are Outer-Space Cookies. Especially the two blue ones, there was an alien involved somewhere in their development. 😉 Naw, I think you did well and your daughter did very well. It’s the thought that counts…right?

    I like the cookies in the 2nd picture. If a cookie looks TOO good, you don’t want to eat it, which defeats the whole point of having a cookie, ya know? 😉
