Making Christmas Treats with Grandma!

We were so very excited that my brother Wayne and his family were able to drive from California this year to join us for Thanksgiving! It has been quite awhile since we've actually been able to spend personal time with them! Usually when we see them, it is because there is some kind of event going on. It was so wonderful to get to spend some real time with them and play catch up. Lily and her cousin Leia have never actually gotten to play together, so it was very fun for them to have an instant friend! They had such a blast together it was hard to tear them apart at the end of the day.

The night before Thanksgiving, my mom decided to venture out and make some Christmas treats with the granddaughters (such a brave woman!) Lily LOVES making treats with grandma and what could be better than making them with her sister and cousin?! They made some chocolate suckers and chocolate dipped candy canes. The girls had so much fun dipping and pouring and licking the spilt chocolate! The best part? (besides licking their fingers clean) Why eating them afterwards, of course! Thanks Grandma! You're the best!
