We have had a fun week with lots of Christmas activities. Gwen really liked making pipecleaner ornaments.
Cara and Nana working on some more ornaments. The sparkly beads look nice on the tree!
Another day we made made the gingerbread house that Grampy sent us.
The girls ate a lot of the candy!
They had a hard time standing still for a picture!
The finished house.
Friday evening we decorated the tree!
Cara was actually very helpful this year and put on many of the decorations.
After much practice even Gwen figured out how to hang the ornaments and then she'd shout "I did it! I did it!" and dance with such glee!
Saturday we had a Christmasy day at Nana & Howie's house.
The cold weather kept us indoors (-27 windchill!) but we had a good time decorating cookies, watching a Christmas movie and having a yummy supper.
Jamie helping Cara with some icing.
Cara was a good cookie decorator.
Gwen enjoyed the cookie tasting!
Nana & Howie are going to NB for Christmas this year and Jamie too so this was a really nice way to celebrate before they went on their trips!
Don't blame me! I only assembled the kit... packed the candies and gingerbread... how was I to know that there was an over abundance of candy (sugar product)? The House looks great! My granddaughters look wired. Ican see that everyone had a good time -- and after all, that was the main thing! -- Grampy
ReplyDeleteI'm still gearing up to making our house ;) Maybe it'll be the New Year's house. Great photos. Wish we were there.
