the turkeys were here!

The turkeys were here!

No, not my family - the cookies!

One small gathering of family on Thursday night -

not my house & I didn't have to cook a thing!

One bigger gathering of family on Friday night -

yes, my house,

full traditional dinner

followed by gingerbread house making...

only 20 of the 27 people made gingerbread houses. 

That was a whole houseful of fun :)

And a whole houseful of not just cute little houses and creativity,

but also icing and candies and sprinkles! 

[Thanks, Sweetie for being on clean-up crew while I got to go to the quilt shop to teach a class :)]

This afternoon, another family gathering -

this one even more peeps, but not my house.

And not quite as much cooking.

And, there are a few of the turkeys left -

Still talking cookies here, you guys!
