Making Gingerbread

Here at our house we love cooking with the kids. Jacob is always in the kitchen with Chris on the weekend, cooking bread. He knows the names of all the ingredients we use and what all the processes are like kneading, folding and so on. I'm so grateful that's he's learning these skills young, one day he's going to make someone a great husband! lol. Anyway, gingerbread has got to be one of our favourite things to cook. Jacob loves rolling out the dough and cutting it with the cutters, decorating the gingerbread and icing them. Unfortunately, it can be a bit fiddly and time-consuming so we don't do it that often! But we wanted to make some special christmas gingerbread the other day. It pretty much took us the whole afternoon but Jacob had a lovely time (not sure how much got eaten and how much got cooked in the end though ;)) Here's our cooking attempts:
