Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving is one of those traditional meals we look forward to-turkey, stuffing, Kris's special mashed potatoes, Linda's  yummy yams, lots of salads, and Sandi's special pumpkin squares. The grandchildren are so excited when I pull up! Of course, my motor home turns into a playhouse of sorts. This is the view from my side window.


Here's the two munchkins-growing up so fast! They're relaxing in the MH after a rousing game of hangman....Miss E and Miss C learned the Christmas classic "Jingle Bells" and E was happily singing while coloring and C and I played hangman...


Our special project this weekend was to create a gingerbread house. Since the "house" had to set up overnight  Miss E and I put the pieces together while the rest of the family went to see The Rise of the Guardians (I don't think I have it right). Sandi and I slipped away on Friday to see "Twilight" thought it was the best in the series.


Everybody was pleased with the results: although  we had to assemble (twice) the house finally set up!
Lots and lots of gooey frosting, sugar candies and the obligatory peppermint posts made our first house memorable- and now we have cookie decorating in just a few weeks!


One more special project -it's a secret- for Christmas!!!
