Catching up on Family Fun Nights (FFN)

Mommy has gotten rather behind on FFN recently.

Don't be too hard on her,

it is mid-semester crunch

and she hasn't been feeling great lately.

-

But we did manage to have a FFN a few weeks ago that

included grilled steak, vegetable saute, and garlic bread.

-

And for fun we made blue berry pie!

We had a big bag of blueberries in the freezer

that we picked from our back yard last summer.

And Mommy discovered that I love to roll out pie crust!

-

Sorry, Mommy didn't get any pictures of the pie after it came out of the oven.

That's because we ate it! ;)

-

This past Saturday we invited Grammie, Gramps, and Ompa

over for FFN!

-

Mommy made chili and cornbread muffins.

I enjoyed eating it (off of Gramps' plate!)

-

Then we played a short game of

Balderdash!

It was my job to decorate the slips of paper!

I took my job very seriously and left no slip of paper unturned!

-

Then we cut out gingerbread cookies!

-

I thought Gramps needed some help!

-

So, I gave him a hand!

-

It was really fun to make a mess with the flour!

-

I especially liked making the "Cookie Babies!" (i.e. gingerbread men) and the "Stars!"

We also made pumpkins, turkeys, bells and snowmen.

-

I liked to put the babies in my glass of milk and make them swim

and encourage them to "Kick, kick, kick!"
