Gingerbread Cookies

Haley & Hunter received this Gingerbread Cookie Kit in their advent calendar today.  Unfortunately, Hunter had a to take a nap so he was unable to participate in decorating the pre-baked cookies.
These are the suggested decorations for the 8 cookies.  The kit came with fondant which I didn't realize.  
Our 8 gingerbread cookies.  Note, I refused to roll out the fondant and then carefully use scissors to cut it all.  We improvised and just used our fingers.  Note each cookie here is in the spot corresponding to its match on the box.  
Haley with all of her cookies.  She had so much fun and that is what matters.  She also had just finished off the remaining green fondant icing hence the green mouth.
The kit was purchased at Michael's for around $8-9 if anyone is interested in doing it too.  Note that the nutrition info states that each cookie with its share of icing has 450 calories.  Yikes!
