Gingerbread Houses, Santa Hunting & Christmas Tree Hot Chocolate

IMG_4853.JPG
Our adventure started off with a Gingerbread house kit that we found after Halloween in Tesco for £1.50 and a large box we had from the delivery of a new kitchen appliance.

We decorated our gingerbread house during the week and used our box to make a giant gingerbread house.

IMG_4840-0.JPGwith our gingerbread houses, some hot chocolate, sprinkles and cream, we headed to the woods..

IMG_4837.JPGwe whipped up our cream with a splash of green food colouring..

IMG_4838.JPGwe added our sprinkle decorations to our hot chocolate Christmas trees…we used whipped cream that didn’t stand up very well, you could use normal squirty cream for snow covered trees and use sprinkles and strawberry laces for the decorations..

Noah decided to have his in the gingerbread house..

IMG_4855.JPGat this point the 9 & 10 year old were arguing and bickering and finding fault with each other so much that they were pointed in the direction of the car to watch from afar so that the little ones could enjoy the trip without having focus constantly taken away :-/
So, as the smaller ones enjoyed their drinks I set about hiding hanging chocolate Santas in the trees…
