Festive Projects




One
of the traditions we have every year is to build a gingerbread house. 
We use a kit to keep it simple - the kids love decorating and playing
with the candy & frosting. It’s a great group project for those
winter afternoons when you really don’t want to be outside, and it’s
amazing how everyone’s “inner foreman/decorator” comes out (no shortage
of opinions in our family!).  This year since my family is in for a
longer visit I wanted to find some other “food crafts” that everyone
would enjoy and which would allow for some showcasing of individual
“talent” among the kids and adults.  “Festive Candy Ornaments” and
“Holiday Sushi Candy” on the Safeway Holiday site looked easy & fun
so we gave it a try – we had such a great time!

The ice skating rink at Union Square was a great idea!  Its provided lots of enjoyment to residents and tourists (me).  Its fun, nostalgic, and community oriented.
