We ate breakfast together, which I failed to get any photos of. Then the boys got the lights on the tree, and we spent the rest of the morning decorating, making fudge and candy, and working on a simple craft.

It was certainly a festive mess around our house yesterday, but we all had a good time!
Around 1 pm we headed out for Kellerhaus, a favorite traditional Christmas destination of ours, for the ice cream buffet. Photo is from a previous year, but it is no less magical today.
After getting home, we cut and packaged the fudge and other candy so they could take a good portion of it home. While Mr. T and I worked at this, the kids finished up their craft projects.
And that was our Friday! What a wonderful day it was!
That sounds perfect! How wonderful to have your Grandchildren close enough to do these things together, making memories with the Grandfolks. What a blessing. I bet that fudge, etc. was great, even the green stuff! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! Of course 7 of our grandchildren are out west, so we don't get to do Christmasy things with them. Maybe someday!
