Wednesday (12/22), We made Peppermint Bark Popcorn . It was messy and good.
D.J. is on Vacation. Getting some good R & R. We did convince him to go on a bike ride this morning. My mom, Cindy, and I went on a run and he rode the bike. After a minor seat adjustment he was ready to go!!!
We found the Christmas ornaments. Nana needed the sewing machine to help teach Bailey to sew and as I moved it off the top shelf in our closet, there they were. We put our tree up right after Thanksgiving and never found the ornaments (they were somehow left out after last Christmas and were put away later). So Brady, Whitney, and Bailey put them on our tree. Brady of course with Blankey and Binky in hand (he calls it his Lovey blankey since he has gone to preschool)
Nana teaching Bailey to sew.
Nana helping Bailey get ready to play at a local nursing home tomorrow. She got a little taste of how lessons go. She wanted to time Bailey because it takes her so long to get ready to play a song (after the 100 comments and physical adjustments) and less time to actually play the song.
I did convince D.J. to eat a piece of fruit. He was looking for something to eat and there isn't alot of snacky food around. Lots to eat but no junk. That came later...
Nana helping Garren get ready as well.
Bennett, Nana, and I spent all day in the kitchen making goodies to take to the neighbors. Bennett made all the cookie dough. He only had to redo one batch. He forgot the eggs and added the chocolate chips before the flour. So he added the flour late and then he put the egg in last. We all laughed about it and the next time it was perfect. We made sugar cookies, chocolate chip peanut butter cookies, and Andie's mint chip cookies.
As we made goodies for our neighbors the 3 younger kids decorated the ginger bread house. We made our own ginger bread. Bennett rolled it out and cut the forms, and cooked them.
Brady making his Christmas tree with sugar cones, green frosting, red hots, and coconut.
The final product!!!
Now time to deliver all the plates (about 25 plates).
Nana doing dishes after the major baking session. Bryant bought pizza for dinner- no time to cook!!!
Upstairs we are working on a puzzle. We are working on a 1000 piece Christmas puzzle. We started a new tradition last year of completing a new Christmas puzzle each Christmas and then gluing it together.
