For Christmas I wanted to make a

Strawberry for Heidi and a

Pineapple for Jessica,

they turned out pretty good, I think!

I made these lighted ice cube gifts for all the girls.

 

 

Baking for the family party!

Taylor loved it!

Sam, Heidi and girls came from Kansas,

Great-Grandma came from Washington,

Jessica and Andrew from Ballard,

Wes and I from Neola

and we all gathered in Deweyville

where Doug, Misty and kids are living.
