The Gingerbread Man's Visit The Gingerbread Man arrived just in time for our preparations for our field trip to the Boston Ballet's Nutcracker. To help us enjoy the beautiful dances of the Sugarplum Fairy we were making sugarplums! The Gingerbread Man thought the sugarplums were delicious!! To learn about real sugarplums and read our recipe so you can make your own, see our Sugarplums Page. The Gingerbread Man LOVED all his "nutty" new friends. He couldn't decide who was his favorite! He was so excited about seeing the actual ballet that he could hardly sleep! Maybe he had visions of sugarplums dancing in his head :-) To learn about all the details of the Gingerbread Man's visit, see the Gingerbread Man's Blog.
