It all started out innocently enough…
The boys could not keep their hands off the candy, but they were actually very careful…
Thanks to the constant battle between the gingerbread/frosting combo and myself, we almost had a train wreck instead of a train (notice the engine leaning towards Little J)…
But we persevered.
It wasn’t perfect. By any means.
But it’s still standing.
And I have some proud helpers and fun memories to show for it.
