Hoping this finds my sister bloggers doing well on this windy Sunday afternoon. Yep, we've got a little wind howling around here and a tad cool but I am enjoying a lazy afternoon. My Sunday lunch crowd (my family) have left for the day so I am kicked back. Sunday menu today consisted of: Chicken and dressing Giblet gravy Italian green beans with ham Mac & Cheese Homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache. Yep, they are little spoiled at Nana's house. I am not a huge fan of cakes with icing but it must have been good as one of the grands had two slices. These gals and I have been friends for more years than I remember and since we've all retired within a few months apart in retirement and age (dating back to 4th grade in school) we try to get together once every 4-6 weeks. We always do something extra for our birthdays but was a tad late celebrating mine this year together due to other appointments that was a must. We always have a gr...
Tootin' with the grands..Nothing like them grandbabies!
We have a craft and baking day at Nana's house sometimes and oh do they have fun!
Here is the deal with they are at Nana's! We don't do anything that isn't fun! We don't eat anything that is good for you!!!! We might brush our hair and oh well, we might not! Needless to say...we pretty much do what we want too!
Isn't that how it is suppose to be at Nana's house?
I have a play room for them and it is filled with dress up outfits, shoes, crafts, books, toys, TV, movies and etc. They love it! But we also have rules!
They like this rule the best:
Craft time! Of course the baby is more interested in taking the cushion in and out of the chair!!!
She has already changed into some of the dress up clothes.
She is getting very serious right about now with her craft!
He isn't!!!! LOL! My only grandson and he is all boy!
He wore his tee shirt on all day backwards! I knew it was backwards...but hey, what the heck right? We're having fun!
Themess fun begins!
My little Conner made Nana a purse!!!!
She is my little organizer. She is actually organizing all the colored paper!!!
Play time now!
The oldest and the youngest.
She loves this little chair! Best money I ever spent!
My oldest granddaughter tries her hand at making cake pops!
We didn't have the new cake pop pans that you can put your batter in so our cake pops was made by rolling them babies in little balls. If you could have seen the look on her face when I told her, Raygen, wash your hands and dig in!!!!
Not to shabby for an 8 year old's first time at cake pops?
She tasted one and said, Nana, this is the best thing I've ever eat!!!
We had enough batter to make a single layer chocolate cake and of course she had to put sprinkles on that too!
She was quite proud of her cake and her cake pops! So was I.
Memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
