Every year I make gingerbread houses ( gram cracker) with the kids. I had 12 kids this year and I would have a lot more if I had the room. The one year when I made them they were all finished and ready to take home and they collapsed, there were a lot of tears. My neighbor told me her sister would hot glue them, yes I also thought it was kind of weird, until I tried it. We could have an earthquake and the houses would make it through. Sasha had a lot of fun:-)
We also made chocolate suckers in molds, the kids thought it was really fun. This is
Kaili dipping her sucker in the chocolate.
This is
Alise, my friend Dorthy's daughter. She is the same age as
Kaili &
Ku'uipo, it was a lot of fun having her.

This picture shows some of the group. The kids that came were Noelle (my niece), Lexy (
Ku'uipo's friend), Brock, Megan, Abbie ( my friend Stacie's kids),
Alise, and all my grand kids. I look forward to this all year, in a few years I will have them build their own and they will win prizes in different categories. I have been so blessed to have all the wonderful opportunities to be with my grand kids and friends kids.

You are such a wonderful grandma! They will always remember those fun memories with you.
Great memories - for EVERY holiday! You are simply amazing. (I never even put up a tree this year -my bad!!) I feel the spirit of Christmas but heck no one has even come to our house so I got away with it. We have packed and unpacked enough I talked myself out of climbing in the attic and pulling decorations down for the first time in my life! You are my inspiration.
