Gingerbread Trains

Our drive to Texas went so smoothly- really, the kids were rock stars in the car! And we made it just in time for the fun Christmas traditions to start! The first of which happened tonight- making gingerbread trains! No cookies at the Allens- no we go for trains!!!

Tori and Garrett were so excited for all the candy and cookies that were within easy reach!

Garrett made sure to try out the cookies before we put them on our train! Actually, I'm pretty sure none of his cookies lasted long enough to make it on the train!!!

We had dessert partway through building and Tori was so excited with her ice cream cone!

Can you tell Garrett really liked his cookie?!!

Check out the awesome wheels that Tori put together! (And this happens to be the only picture I got of our train!)

Aunt Meesha was a trooper and was brave enough to let Garrett feed her M&Ms- so cute!

Hurrah for being with family and fun family traditions- and this was only the first!!!
