Personal Notes:
We’d go up to Browerville most every year for the opening of Hunting season, and would spend hours making these wonderful gingerbread men. Grandma had every cookie cutter you could imagine, and then we’d arm ourselves with paintbrushes and multiple frosting colors to create these wonderful cookies. The goal was saving a few for Christmas, too. 
