No cake this year. He wanted "pirate men." Have you ever read the Christmas book, The Gingerbread Pirates? I couldn't put this book away with all the other Christmas books. Cole insisted it stay out. These pirate men come alive when you sleep!
I tried my best. It took all day to make dough....chill dough....roll out dough....cut out dough....cook dough....and frost dough! I thought I was getting away without having to do anything time consuming. I was wrong. Cole loved them! It was worth every minute! Because "pirate men" come alive when you sleep, Cole didn't want to eat them!
Pirate Names: Wavy, Dots, and Captain Cookie
There were 21 in all.
Happy Birthday Cole! We love you! We can't believe you are 5!
