Yeah, that's the 16 1/2 year old, the other happy one is his older brother. The grumpy girl is the neighbor girl; she is miserable, won't leave her mother's side. And she knows all my gkids very well.

I relooked at the pic I posted. The ham is the oldest one, the 19 year old. He is the one that insisted these continue even though he is in college. Next year, you'll have to come; just bring your favorite candy to share.

How sweet! Even the older guys seem to be having fun! I whish I had thought of doing something like that with my boys when they were younger! Now they will have to do it with older DS's 2 boys in Wisconsin.

Are you just exhausted?

That looks like so much fun. For many years I had a cookie making/decorating party for my grandkids who are now all grown up.

The group picture is so cute, but there has to always be one in the crowd, doesn't there?... :lol:

Thanks everyone. Yes, it is Tuesday now and I am still exhausted. The older boys have a ball, and the younger boy is the neighbor boy and he loves being with my big ones. He disappeared for a while and when I came upstairs he was deep in concentration with the 15 year-old playing computer games. For the question about the houses....yes I made 5 batches of gingerbread dough last Wednesday and the 16 year-old helped me cut some out. Then Thursday and Friday I cut & baked all the pieces. Saturday I frosted them together with icing. It is always a long process when you make that many, but they like doing one of their own and like the bigger ones. I just made a pattern of cardboard that I save and use every year. I had to change recipes this year because the old recipe I used was too stiff for my arthritic hands to roll out.
