Guess Who is Coming For Dinner?

Grandpa Mike and Grandma Jill were able to come and have dinner with us on Sunday.  Since we never get to spend Christmas with them(seriously, only once in 2000) we decided to make it Christmas dinner. We had ham and all the works. The girls chose the desserts: apple pie for Grandpa Mike, and peppermint ice cream for Grandma Jill, plus hot fudge sauce for them.
Luckily, we had just been to visit them at Thanksgiving so S remembered her buddy and cuddled in.
Grandma helped the girls decorate this years gingerbread house. I think it turned out adorable.
 Yes, this picture is out of focus. R took it of H right when they were done. It has been hard for the girls to keep their hands off it this year.
Before Grandma and Grandpa left that night we read two Christmas books: Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree, a family favorite from my childhood

and The Three Christmas Trees.
Even though we only saw Grandma and Grandpa for a few hours this trip, it was a treat. The girls are so excited because we get to see them for a couple of days next month as well.
