Yesterday was fun.....
18 of us gathered in the community room and decorated gingerbread houses. Daughter Shirley headed up the event, made all the houses, bought candies for us to use, made the royal icing for decorating and then was our instructor and cheerleader.
The new staff is doing an outstanding job making sure we are having a good time. Here they are with Shirley.
I had decorated a gingerbread house once, probably 30 years ago and I was a bunch younger then!

We all had the best time. Every house was different and all of them were very well done.
And, we were treated to some light refreshments!
It certainly put me in the Christmas mood.
