And then he'd be like every other kid with a phone...always glued to it and not wanting to do stuff like make gingerbread.

Not quite like other kids, he sleeps a lot

Or maybe that do that too

My entry........ I DID it! I DID it! I really really did it! I thought that I could do it and indeed I DID!







This started out as a gingerbread sleigh kit. I ditched the reindeer - Santa's Coupe is instead being pulled by a flock of chickens!

The sleigh and the chickens are gingerbread
Decorations on the sled are various candies
The chickens' wings and tail are tan fondant
Their combs are red fondant
The bows are candy birthday cake decorations
The beaks,eyes, and snow boots are black fondant
The chickens are held upright with Hershey's Kisses, cut in half to provide a "stand" in the icing
The chimney is an empty toilet paper roll, bricks drawn on with Sharpie with white icing snow
The rooftop is egg white icing ala @FridayYet
The margarita is waiting........
