Grandbabies and Gingerbread Houses
It was a full house today at Grammy’s!
I had 4 of my grandchildren along with 2 neighbor children from our old neighborhood and my niece. What a fun day! The older girls really went to town on creating extravagant domains while the younger children seemed to be more interested in tasting the goodies. My youngest granddaughter stayed right in step with the older girls, though. (“bboop’s’ recipe for the frosting worked perfectly! A big thank you!)
We were hit hard with a bad storm so it took me twice as long to drive the older children home as normal. Amazingly, the Lord provided more strength this evening so I was able to finish up all the grands pajama’s along with wrappings and bows. Most of the presents are wrapped except for the cookbooks which I hope to work on tomorrow night.
Tomorrow begins a two day stretch of baking and cooking. We’re gathering with my family on Christmas Eve so I’ll be getting food ready to take to my parents home. How thankful I am to have parents that are still alive and in good health. I thank the Lord for this often. Christmas Day will be spent at our home with most of our children and grands. My son will not be able to make it home from Missouri with his family or our ’adopted’ boy from Idaho. But, we are thankful for those who will be here.
I pray each of you will have a most blessed and joyous Christmas!
Remembering HIM…

You asked the author of my book. I’m not sure what book you’re asking about. If it’s the bible study, I’m doing a Beth Moore workbook. We’ve always had small Christmas gathering, just the immediate family. I go to my daughter’s to see the gd’s come down in the morning and we all open our gifts. My parents and my brother are all gone, but we usually didn’t spend Christmas together. Still this time of year makes you think about those that are gone.
Blessings to you and yours. Debbie
Aren’t grands fun. The results of your day making gingerbread houses look super. They will remember “making gingerbread houses with Grammy,” the rest of their lives. What wonderful memories they will have.
Have a Merry Christmas & a Blessed New Year. HUGS
I’m praying for you. I think I will be ok. One of my daughters is also staying away from sugar so that helps. Take care and lean on His grace.
What a fun looking day. We usually make gingerbread houses at Christmas time but this year things are a little different with a wedding so close. Glad you could have that special time with your grands and friends.
