Nana's Tradition

One of my traditions with the grands

is the annual "Gingerbread Party"

It started when they were very young

and even now as teenagers they

still love their annual party

Supplies were gathered

Aprons were tied on

dough was made

let the party begin.....

They each have their own cookie sheet

for their gingerbread creations

of course they couldn't share one...

you wouldn't want to get your

masterpiece mixed up with your sister's

"Nana, check mine out!!"

messes are made

that's part of the fun!!

Another very important part

of this party is the

gifts they get to open

I have wonderful memories

of "Gingerbread Parties"

past and present

Such sweet times with Nana and her Grands
