My daughter and I made a gingerbread house on Christmas Eve. I’m not a big “make it from scratch” kind of person. I only buy pre-made kits. We attempted one last year but it didn’t turn out very well. The frosting wasn’t sticky enough and the roof kept sliding off as we placed decorations on it. This year, I found a good gingerbread house that has super sticky frosting. It was awesome!
When we finished making our house, I grabbed my camera and asked my daughter to smile. Why, oh why, does she have to put bunny ears on everything? I don’t understand why kids do this and why they think it’s funny. It’s interesting that no matter how much we shield them from the world, these little acts of silliness come out of the woodwork.
Oh, well. She looks cute and happy anyway.
(By the way, I did not lick my fingers or take a little taste of this delectable house of sweet stuff to raise my blood sugar. I am very proud of myself!)
Ah, yes, the bunny ears. We have banned “hand and finger signals/gestures” from the elementary school’s yearbook. What’s worse than bunny ears? How about the “princess pose”? Fingers intertwined and held under the chin…elbows up and out…head tilted. My oldest daughter did that pose in every picture for about 3 months straight. Ugh. Then guess who adopted it…the middle daughter. Can’t wait for the baby girl to figure it out.
Oh, no. The Princess Pose? I’m not looking forward to that one!
