'Tis the Season for Parties!


On Saturday we had two parties! A lunch at the country club for Dial-a-bus drivers. There I met Sheila who made Brenda's wedding cake 16 years ago! One August day a few years ago she had 5 wedding cake deliveries to make. On the next to the last one she fell on the steps and broke her elbow. So she retired and became a Dial-a-bus volunteer.

We decided to have a little family party and invited Ken and Polly's family over for a turkey supper. The highlight of the evening was making a gingerbread house. Ken had as much fun as the girls. And Robin was happy for the leftovers. Then Ken, Robin and I went to Albany to see Miracle on 34th Street at the community theatre. The woman with a little daughter and her lawyer neighbor who loved her were actually a family in real life. So those weren't stage kisses! 

And then as if to say, "Christmas is really coming," it snowed in the night.

Fun! Neat to see your family pictures! When Hayden was up we four built a gingerbread train, took it's picture, and then ate it. Well ate a bit of it, then tossed it. I especially enjoyed the part about not keeping it intact for purported admiration's sake! :)

Did your snow stick? Our church was canceled! And school is already called off for tomorrow.

CUTE gingerbread house! That's nice of dad to make the rounds building those. My kids are super excited for it.
