I hope its ok if I post in the thread on the family board and this one
Our weekend at my grandma's was really fun, we made TONS of bake goods, and I do mean TONS, I thought we'd made about 17 dozen cookies but then when I was typing it out on my facebook page I realized it was more like 30 LOL 16 hours of rolling out cookie dough, cutting them out, baking them and a few other goodies
7 hours of decorating. Kids LOVED IT!
As for the elves... they made them selves right at home at Grams, and I must say Grams was ABSOLUTELY amazed at those three cute little guys full of mischief, she kept saying things like where ever did you, and the kids would say Grams the ELVES did it... LOL. She loved the decorated step ladder so much that she decided to put it on the end table in front of her window where she normally displays a very small Christmas tree, so she can enjoy it through the holidays. SOOOO glad I found this thread before going there!
Here are a few pictures and notes about the mischief Skeeter, Trixie and Elvin caused down at Grams!
DAY 12
Friday The elves went with us for our anual baking weekend at Great Grams. They were devistated when we got there and she did NOT have a single Christmas decoration up. They searched high and low for her Christmas tree, and finally decided there was too much stuff that they'd NEVER find a tree. Instead they brought up a little step ladder from the basement and did their best to decorate it to look just LIKE a tree!
DAY 13
SATURDAY Skeeter, Elvin and Trixie spent all day watching Grams and Zack play cards while mom, PD and L cut out cookies and baked them. They decided to try their hands at a game after everyone went to bed

DAY 14
Skeeter, Elvin & Trixie brought the kids new tooth brushes since they had a pretty high sugar intake with all the cookies and frosting they sampled, they wanted to make sure the kids teeth stay clean and bright
