We’ve had different gingerbread-building experiences over the years and have always enjoyed ourselves. This year we went with the at-home-kit plan and had a blast. At $8 a kit (even with Rollback prices) I just purchased 3 sets. I gave resident cheerful-person, Marie, the first box and asked her to pick a partner. All these disciples love one another, but not everyone can work together. Marie lovingly selected the high-spirited 4-year-old, thereby creating just about the best possible building-buddy-sets I could have hoped for…
Stewart and Nigel were a team, and Tabitha and Katriel were a, um, team… (Hard to build from your high chair…)
I lent some hands to Tab, and Daddy lent some hands to Marie. (Hanny proved a rather disinterested builder. She was more into exterior design and taste-testing.)
The boys had a few glitches. (They seemingly do not have the engineer gene.)
What the boys lack in math and science they more than make up for in other areas… like creative design.
They were the first to finish their project.

Marie finished second, sweetly labeling it M & J, although J had very little input.
Tabitha managed to complete hers on her own…and as such, didn’t offer Katriel any frosting credit. 😉
