One of the kid's favorite books we read is "The Gingerbread Baby" by Jan Brett. It is basically the story of the gingerbread man, but in the end the little boy in the story makes a gingerbread house to capture the gingerbread baby in and no one gets eaten. When we read this book we make our annual gingerbread house. The kit you can buy from Costco is great! Someday, I think it would be fun to really bake and design our own houses but this works for our family right now. This year it has been so cute to see Claire catch on to Christmas. Since we decorated the gingerbread house, she is convinced that the gingerbread baby is living inside all cozy and warm. She talks to him and asks him:" What are you doing in there, baby? Do you want to come and play with me?"
