I am having so much fun this Christmas with my 4-year old granddaughter. She is so enthusiastic about everything! She helped pick out the christmas tree. She practically decorated it herself (minus the lights) and she wrapped presents.
She would wrap as many as I would give her! So much energy and excitement!
The best part of the weekend was the gingerbread men! She did a great job.
She was obviously pleased with the outcome.
We just used one of the $8.00 kits from Walmart. If you want to make your own, here's Rachel's recipe.
Gingerbread Men
1/4 c. boiling water
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. Baking soda
1 tso. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1/2 c baking molasses
3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 egg
1/2 c brown sugar
Melt butter in boiling water. Add all the other ingredients. Then chill the dough for 2 hours. Roll out and cut into shapes. Push red hots (buttons) into the men before baking. Bake at 350 degree for 8-10 minutes. Cool and decorate with frosting. Makes 24 cookies.
Also here is a Kraft recipe: Gingerbread People
Aside from my own "personal" treasures, I do have some web loot to share.
You can get free and legal Christmas music directly from the artists.
