Thanks for looking and all your sweet comments. I actually think the grownups enjoyed the turkeys as much as little GD did--especially when they discovered there was candy inside! LOL I want my GD to think it's fun to come to Gma's house. Jane, I need new ideas for little things to entertain her, she's already hooked on computer games and it's really hard to compete with that! LOL Luckily, I have two dogs she loves to play with and share her food with, so that helps keep her busy. ;o) I have to tell all of you that while holidays are so fun and such special times with family--I was wiped out last night and today! And then I read Ms. Karen's post on how she's already getting all her Fall decorations put away! Can I just tell you how much I am dreading all that work???? Karen, would you wanna come do mine too? Oh, that's right, I'm supposed to be the energetic, healthy one! You sure do put me to shame, gal. LOL Love you all. Luvs

That's cute! We 'reunioning' end of first week in Aug at the beach for a few days with my cousins. DH just asked the other day if there would be any 'littles' there other than the eldest cousins grandson - almost 4. I said I didn't think so. If I took a sharpie and a couple of carboard squares that's something we could do with him, make a present for his grandmother to display in the kitchen of their house they've rented for the week.

Eld - those are such great ideas and so cute. My 37-year old son had a small family dinner last night (the first one that he and wife have ever hosted and they did an amazing job) for 15 people. Four of those were younger cousins ranging in age from 9-13. My son and his wife have a 13 month old so don't have any games/toys etc for the older age group. So he bought 2 gingerbread kits, set up a table for them and the kids had a blast putting them together. My son also provided boxes (boxes that used to contain Huggies!) so that they could take them home with them.

^^^As always with these posts of yours, I love them!! Wish I had been as creative 50 years ago with my boys... =)
