Gingerbread Village Advent project

Cy's Advent today was to make our annual Gingerbread house. The kit I got this year was for a Gingerbread village, which included FOUR little houses. Yikes. I really need to read the package a little more closely! It's not that I don't love these projects with Cy but I am not a crafty woman, I just don't love it. It's ironic because my grandmother was an artist but those genes passed me right by! Anyway, we got going on this project today and it was fun:) Cy was super excited about helping, for about 20 minutes;) He helped me "glue" the pieces together and decorate the roofs. I did the small details around the doors and windows. 1/2 way through Cy decided he wanted to eat one of the houses. Of course I told him to go for it. The house promptly fell apart when he tried to bite it and he got very frustruated at how "hard" it was.  

The little houses came out really cute and we had a good time. We finished up the evening with Curious George's Christmas Special. It was such a nice day to spend with my little man since it was so icy and snowy outside!!
