had the most wonderful quiet day today… I am particularly happy about this as I anticipate that the next four days are going to be packed…

wrote a few cards to pop into the mail, made chili and spaghetti with meat sauce, and put away the last few groceries from yesterday’s shopping trip…

the chili came out great… I added some hamburger and onion to the basics… delicious…

missed having the boys for dinner, but they were busy… we are planning to make a gingerbread house next time they are over…

packaged up some meals to share and for the coming week…

had a number of phone calls and enjoyed a few Christmas movies as well…

nice;-)…

tonight after supper we decorated some gingerbread cookies that we’d picked up a few weeks ago at IKEA…

everyone took part… lots of focus and luckily the icing I picked up today worked perfectly…

then we ate them and they were delicious;-)…

we are going to put together the gingerbread house and decorate it on Christmas Eve as we need royal icing to glue it……

been thinking back to some of the best memories of the last week…

one involved the gingerbread house… my son-in-law and I were shopping together in November and we spotted this gingerbread house kit that came with the house already built so that all that would need to be done was decorate… we’ve tried to do this before but have always struggled with getting the house constructed, lol…

we took the kit with us on Christmas Eve and it was a hit…

work began with Auntie helping the younger two… eventually she moved on to something else, but they both kept returning to continue with the decorating…

the final product looked great and the boys were entertained for ages… such fun…

was thinking how George would have loved working on this with they boys…

very busy day…

ran out and got the last few Christmas things needed and picked up groceries…

got home, put a few things away and had lunch and a rest…

the boys came and we built a gingerbread house…

I was working in the kitchen while they did most of the decorating…

we got a few little jobs done around the house and had a nice supper…

once they headed home I got into my jammies and climbed into bed…
