Before the weekend was over Grandma Jackie treated us to an early Christmas. We made a gingerbread house (that even survived the trip home) and opened presents.
We got a family Christmas stocking along with the story of how stockings came to be. That was hand made and will be cherished for a lifetime.
The girls each got their own pillowcases made especially for them from Grandma Jackie. They fit their pillows nicely and there are no more fights about who's pillow is who's (WHEW!)
We all got a chance to help decorate the gingerbread house and tried not to weigh down the roof to much.
I think it turned out cute! The girls are looking forward to eating it after Christmas. They don't realize it will be hard as a rock by that time.
For a late night snack we roasted marshmellows, we couldn't do it outside so we compromised and used the stove for our fire. The smores were delicious!
It was a fun weekend, just a long trip home with all the holiday traffic. Now it's catch up week since we leave soon for Washington.
