Making the gingerbread house has become one of our favorite Christmas traditions. This year we bought a kit that had a pre-made house which, we've decided, is the way to go with small kids. Wyatt can't believe that he has unfettered access to any number of sweets during the process. In fact, before he eats any candy he asks, "I'm going to eat one, no two, I mean two M&Ms right now, OK?" And then he looks at me in the process like I'm going to stop him at any moment. Malcolm's approach is much different. He grabs a handful, looks around to see who is watching as if he thinks he is about to do something he is not supposed to, and then he shoves them all in his mouth. It doesn't seem to matter if anyone is watching him, he goes for it anyway. Surprisingly he only choked once during the process. Next year we are planning to up the ante and have a family gingerbread decorating competition.
