Unforeseen Complication to Gingerbread Man Tree Decor

So sometimes simple isn't as simple

as one would imagine.

 

Chelsea has made gingerbread men

for a couple of years now.

They are designed to 

represent friends

and family.

Apparently these resemble

doggy treats to a couple of 

furry members of our family.

We are now in the process of 

teaching Chloe and Bandit

that what looks like 

treats for them

are

NOT!

Then there was the question

of how to hang them.

Chelsea chose to just lay 

some on the tree

bypassing the poking of holes

in the head.

However, there are only 

so many places on the tree where

they can be laid and be visible

which left many unused.

Being the practical type 

I decided that the only thing

to do was get out the ice pick and 

"ahem"

poke holes in the forehead

of each and every remaining

boy and girl.

 Unfortunately there was collateral damage to this 

little girl's eye while poking her head.  

You can tell she is in shock.

 Meet Johnny.

At least Chelsea's take on him.

I don't see the resemblance at all.....

smile.

Chelsea happened into the 

kitchen just as I drilled

into the head of our friend

Johnny.

Oops!

I know...it totally 

felt wrong.

Especially since they have names.

But......

I'm not sure who I ate

after I broke them while 

drilling their head...

I'm sorry.

But those who remain 

are cute as a button on our 

blue and white Christmas tree.

Now, 

I wait to see if there is a tree

and or cookies remaining

when we return from getting 

flour for more cookie baking.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Hope you aren't complicating things

quite as much as we have here.
