gingerbreadtrain.jpgOn Monday evening Nathan arrived back home, after an excruciating absence for another Dental Conference. We were so happy to see him! His presence was even more of a thrill when the children discovered that their Nana had sent along a Gingerbread Train for our family night activity!! They were boundless sources of energy, covered in green and white icing and snuck many a treat into their mouths before the structure had even gone up. We laughed, some cried, some fought over who got to place whichever candy where they wanted. It was gingerbread madness at it’s best. At the end of the evening we had a beautiful little train with candy missing and side panels half eaten.

Ok, on to the “Bad Bad Daria” stuff. I didn’t take pictures. Yes it’s true, I’m sorry Mom. Nathan had killed the battery in Las Vegas and the kids were dying to get going - I just couldn’t put it off till the battery recharged or we would have been train making late into the night. But enough of excuses, I owe you a picture. So here’s what’s left of the gorgeous gingerbread train you sent - as you can see we LOVED it! And it was delicious. LOL!!
