The G'kids did not have school December 21st. We brought them to our house for the weekend because we will not be around after Christmas to spend time with them. We are hoping to head south on December 27th.
There were no electronics at our house so we depended on projects to keep them occupied and busy.
puzzles
baking cookies
and candies
playing games
This was our Christmas gift from the G'kids...
(a movie date with popcorn; their treat)
The Grinch movie
and a Christmas Village
one cottage has a skylight*
* lessons learned from this first time project: use a serrated knife to cut the gingerbread pieces; build (glue/frost) the houses the night before, with another adult; buy more stuff/crap for decorating the houses; only the white frosting works well (don't waste $ on anything else). Hope I remember this for next year!
Sure will miss these munchkins for the next few months!
Glad you had some great quality time with the kiddos before leaving. Safe travels!
