It was their first day of Christmas break and they came for breakfast.
It is easy to please this bunch with crepes ...
some like them with sugar, some with cinnamon sugar, others with strawberries and cream,
and a few with bananas and nutella.
After breakfast we rolled German spiced peppernuts and sugar cookies.
Peppernuts
I had found some great little craft packages
(Christmas tree ornaments) at Target in the fall.
They turned out to be perfect for this age.
The only one who didn't make any was Landon,
but while the kitchen was busy, some took turns playing pool downstairs,
or hockey outside with Papa.
They get both of us for these dates now and I love it!
Lunch was simple ... chicken strips, mac and cheese and veggies.
And those trees on the island ...
they were a spur of the moment side trip to Save-On with Papa.
The girls who went with him came back full of smiles,
having picked out personal trees to take home.
This still makes me smile to remember how excited they were!
Cookies and trees for this pre-Christmas week.
And my heart filled up again,
savoring these special times.

Special times, for sure.
Cousin days are the best!
Baking and craft days with cousins make for special memories and full hearts for grandparents. My kind of days too. They grow so fast. Gloria
Such special cousin times at Mimi and Papas! Love the personal trees they got to take home, too. Fun idea.
