Let the parties begin!

After a busy weekend last week with all our Thanksgiving activities you would think we would be ready to relax for a bit...well we just kept partying. I started out early Saturday morning with my "Funny Bunny" quilt group friends. Crystal drove from Tucson early and I treated Crystal, Bunny and Debbiesue to breakfast. I made everyone a "homemake" donut for a party favor. It was actually a pin cushion, they turned out so cute. I actually served an oatmeal bar for breakfast. I wanted to do something different and my sister gave me this idea, it turned out really nice. I took pictures on my nieces camera and can't quite figure out how to get them off, so those will be coming later. Sadly on Thanksgiving my camera dropped and it bit the dust. I was so sad and my niece kindly offered to let me use her camera. I greatly appreciated it. Thanks Katie and Mark.

Later Saturday afternoon I hosted my family annual Gingerbread House party. Everyone brings their gingerbread kit and we have fun decorating them. This year we didn't just have houses but also gingerbread boy/girls, little villages and even a train. Here is Thane with his portion of the village. Didn't he do a good job. Beth helped all the little ones color their frosting with the color of their choice. Thane picked a lime green. Looks great Thane!

Oh you are probably wondering now just how I got these pictures if I can't figure out my nieces camera. Carrie arrived early from Casa Grande with my granddaughter Jessah and brought me an early Christmas present...a new RED camera. Red being my favorite color I was very excited. Thank you so much Carrie, I love it.

Here is Beth Ann and Jessah. I haven't seen Jessah in quite a few months, I couldn't believe how long her hair is now and she is getting so grown up. It's hard to believe I have a grandchild almost 13 years old. I can't be that old can I? Love you Jessah and miss seeing you more often.

Here is Faithy and her cute little house. I like how her color is actually a color very popular this year with alot of Christmas decorations.

This is Hunters train, it was really cute but he refused to have his picture taken with it. He did a great job on it tho.

By the end of the evening we were all pooped out. Thane and Lily included but we had a bunch of cute decorated gingerbread. Next weeks parties startes on Thurs., Friday and Sat. Am I nuts?
