On Thanksgiving Grandmother and Granddaddy Walker gave Braden a Gingerbread Train to make for our house. He finally talked me into letting him venture onto the project a few nights ago. He loved the detail work and poured his heart and soul into making it the best Gingerbread Train ever created. He is a perfectionist as well, I have no idea where he gets that from...hehehehe, so he cannot just decorate the train however he wants too, he has to stare at the box the whole time and make it exactly like it looks on there. Dana took a little break from school work to come down and help him, they had a great time getting into the decorating. I loved watching him have fun and concentrating on it creation so much. I am not sure how, but I got distracted during the picture process, and did not get a final picture snapped quick enough of the finished product and its creators...I guess it just looked too good to just sit there and look at...so as you can see in the last picture, the caboose is no longer in one piece, Braden said the cookie was very delicious - ha!!!
Hard at work, so much concentration!
NOTE TO SELF: Get a Christmas table cloth for holiday projects...the spider web one was nice for carving pumpkins, but not so much for Christmas activities - ha!
Dana and Braden comparing their display to the box picture 
Notice that the caboose doesn't have a front or back side any longer...as well as the fact that the candy balls that were trimming the top of the caboose on the icing are missing as well ;) As long as he thought it was tasty though - ha!
