…he’s going to want to draw a schematic for a gingerbread structure.
And he’ll want to utilize multi-tiered levels of gingerbread…
But first he’ll need some canned goods.
He’s going to want you to help flip the structure over.
and start decorating it while it dries overnight.
He’s going to need some little helpers…
…and it will keep them occupied for at least 20 minutes while you have a Christmas beverage.
And chances are, while you’re looking at the pictures – he’s going to want a cookie.
*My stepfather, setting the bar way, way too high for future years of gingerbread projects.

Wow great gingerbread house. You must be an awesome Supermom!
Next up: photos of our garage after he cleaned it out and of the turkey my husband cooked. I am the superest mom EVER.
Just don't ask about the laundry. That was my job…
This is why I don't do gingerbread houses. The engineer thing.
I will validate you there by adding that the process had to be spread out over three days (baking, building, decorating) and several hours.
Very cute! Love the book reference!
Dorian, this will be a memory, not a comparison point. The older two kids will say, "Remember when Granddad came and built that AWESOME gingerbread house?" And the little one will live on that memory, too, if only vicariously. Let your stepdad own it happily, and don't worry about competing. In future years, you can say, "Let's build a gingerbread house (castle, whatever). It will be fun! And remember the year that Granddad made the best one EVER?" Fortunately, we don't have to live up to each other's talents… just appreciate them.
