Thanksgiving Treasures

We were SO blessed to be able to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday in delightful company!

This little guy did a fabulous job helping me make Cranberry Kissed White Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls.

All of that hard work deserved at least a little taste....right?

The finished product was certainly hard to resist...

So why not just dig in?

But it wasn't all about cooking.  Some Trolls were in dire need of a makeover...

although I can't say I saw much improvement.

There were books to read,  checkers to play,

 and some outside football despite the freezing cold.  BRRR!! 

Ok, so the little one never made it outside to play football, but we still had fun dressing her up to match Pap-Pap.

Friday's highlight was a much anticipated visit to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA.

You could make your own crayon label, melt a crayon into a mold, and play with some Crayon Clay

                                      

which was obviously quite entertaining for some.

But you didn't have to be a kid to have some fun.  Even Grammas and Pap-Paps could be easily entertained.  (At least this set was!)

There was some interactive play with Crayons on a screen.

(Note the second purple crayon on the screen mimicking Pap-Pap G.)

We got to decorate a heart with melted crayon colors

and draw a picture which was cut into a puzzle.

It was really quite fun for all.

And on Saturday,  I was able to enjoy the afternoon with my youngest daughter,  in Lititz, which is beautifully decorated for the Holiday Season and always a delightful afternoon out at this time of year.

The Wilbur Chocolate Factory has a unique chocolate display featuring fairy tales.  We had no trouble spotting many of our favorites.

This sleigh and reindeer display added to the holiday decor of the town.

If you live near Lititz and haven't visited in awhile, I highly recommend an afternoon out.  The shop owners are welcoming to window shoppers.  And you can pop into Tomato Pie( right across from the Wilbur Factory)  for a bite to eat, or just treat yourself to yummy latte.

Believe me, you're bound to find something entertaining.

Like a bear sporting a mustache.  A first for me...that's for sure!
