Wednesday it snowed so Katie and I prepared gingerbread for construction when Justin came home. They had fun doing their own houses and Katelyn was happy that daddy helped her so she could put the most candy on hers.
One morning I cooked whole wheat crepes for kids who absolutely love them made with Nutrella, bananas and blueberries.
On Thursday Justin took the day off and took all of us the the Denver Space and Science Museum. We watched an interesting presentation on Super Volcanoes in the Planetarium and then spent time in the space area before going out to lunch and to the Denver Mint. We had a nice tour of the plant and we were hoping to see them stamping out silver dollars like this did the fish during Pepperidge Farm tour. But it was not running that day. We each received a new penny and an unstamped penny as souvenirs. But then we went to the Federal Reserve where we saw a $100,000.00 bill, $30,000.000.00 stacked up in glassed off area, tried to pick out the forged $20 bills and left with $165 in real bills. They were shredded in tiny pieces in a little bag, but the kids didn't care. They were rich! Justin will blog some cute photos.
Yesterday Katie and I made about 300 sugar cookies and soft ginger snaps to bag with measuring spoons or cups and tied with cute bow and tag. It was a lot of work and unfortunately the altitude (6000 ft) got to me and Katelyn read to me while I rested on bed. Then later we all frosted the cookies for Santa and family. The whole family delivered 42 of gifts today to friends and neighbors. Feeling better today and am getting better acquainted with the Nook Brook, Sunshine and family gave me for Christmas. I can view the scriptures on it now so I won't have to carry that large quad to church. I'm good at crossword game and getting better at Sudoku (more difficult that my big book at home). This morning Katie helped me access my email account on it as I was having trouble accessing that feature. When I return to G.V. I am hoping for more instruction from Brooke and Ffiona who both use their Nooks a lot.
Looking forward to your updates on your Christmas preparations.
