To celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday we read books about Abraham. Then I asked the kids, mostly Handsome, to tell me stories and important things that they remembered about Abraham. Then we celebrated, the kids chose to make gingerbread men; 1) because there is a story about gingerbread men in the book about Abraham Lincoln we read and 2) because we had read a book called "Ginger Bear" that the kids liked. I had never made Gingerbread cookies before, but we tried and they were good.
Handsome loved the smell of the dough.
As I was adding ingredients the kids got to taste a few of them. Some they liked, others not so much. But when it was all mixed into the dough they liked it. :)

It was a fun way to learn and celebrate. I'll have to remember this for the future.
