Gingerbread Men Count down to Christmas

The kids had a really great time making the gingerbread men this year.  We decorated them a little different this year than last but they turned out cute.  I decided to have the kids take turns getting a cookie instead of everyone getting a cookie everyday.  At first it was hard but now they get excited when its there day.  We went through the calendar and put there names on what day would be able to have a cookie.  The kids also decided whoever s day it is to eat the cookie they get to say the prayer at dinner time.  This has been wonderful and now we don't have daily fights on who gets to say it.  This is such a fun tradition for our family .
