Ginger Bread Tea Cakes

One of the traditions the Grands love is decorating a ginger bread house.

Of course, in this day it is already baked and just has to be glued together.

It was fun seeing their ideas take shape and how they shared in putting on the decorations.

They seem pleased with the progress. 

It is taking shape. 

The final walk through.  Yep, they are satisfied. 

Papa even got a small piece.  No, they didn't get to eat the whole thing.  I wonder what month (or year) it was baked, as it had a taste similar to how cardboard smells.  Oh well, it is Christmas and we do strange things. 

Tutu recruited them to put powdered sugar on the Russian Tea Cakes.  Hands had to be scrubbed and no licking fingers until all the cookies were covered with that powdery sugar.

Then it was time to lick.  M said that it was the best cookie he had ever eaten.  I agree.
