Week Two in South Dakota

Week two wasn’t quite as busy as week one. Looking back though, it was full of grandkid activities.

Last Sunday morning we finished working on the Christmas goodies project. These were the Oreo truffles, dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with chocolate cookie crumbs.

M chose to double dip the pretzels we did on Saturday because we had extra white coating.

The two of them worked well coating/dipping the candy cane cookie truffles in peppermint coating and then adding some peppermint crushed candy sprinkles..

Miss W went to church musical practice so M chose peanut blossom cookies for a project. He did most of the measuring and mixing, all the rolling and sugar dipping and finally added the chocolate kisses.

I think the three of us made six different treats to share last weekend.

On Monday I met with my Watertown book club women to discuss A Memory of Violets. It was so good to see them in person and catch up on our lives since October AND to discuss the book.

We attended a geocaching event Saturday afternoon and on Saturday night Hubby and I attended a Christmas Party at the Arrowhead Country Club, enjoying good food and excellent conversations.

Eighteen students played a Christmas musical piece (piano & violin) as prelude music to the church Christmas Musical on Sunday afternoon.

As an 8th grader this is the last year Miss W can participate in the church Christmas musical.

Our last week in South Dakota will be our family Christmas later in the week and some geocaching in the early part of the week. The good weather continues!
