FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 520 AND MERRY CHRISTMAS

WISHING YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We did take the younger grandkids on the Polar Express recently! We all had a fun time on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, based in Carson City, NV. A train ride to the North Pole, hot chocolate and a cookie, singing, dancing AND Santa himself!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 520 AND HOLIDAY CHEER

Can't wait to see what you are doing for the holidays

in this week's Funtastic Friday posts!

Hope your holiday season is going well and joyful. I have had all of my shopping done for some time and now I just need to get a package with grandkid gifts sent to Arizona. Now time to bake!

Let us know in the comments if you would like to share any fun holiday goings-on you have in your family.

Here is a quick candy recipe. My kids asked me about it the other day so I suppose I should make some.

You can find the link HERE.

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 518 AND CHRISTMAS FUN

Welcome to Funtastic Friday #518

HAPPY DECEMBER!

🎄🎅🎄

Our family has some fun plans for this weekend. We will be taking the two youngest grandkids and their mom, Staci, to ride on the Polar Express train in Carson City, NV. We haven't told the kids what they will be doing, just that instead of a material gift, Grandpa and I are taking them on a Christmas weekend of fun! The train ride on an old steam engine train should be fun; having Santa read all the book Polar Express, while drinking hot chocolate, and receiving their own bell, as in the book/movie. I will post photos next week here and on Facebook/Instagram/X of our little adventure 🎅🎅🎅

Speaking of Santa, if you haven't already, click on the link to learn how to make your own FELT SANTA STUFFED WITH GOODIES. They make great teacher gifts, neighbor gifts, Secret Santa gifts, etc. Plus, they go together quickly and are inexpensive!

FUNTASTI FRIDAY 517 AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2024

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY AND THANKSGIVING DINNER IDEAS 2024

Let's get to this week's party

and all your holiday ideas!

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS FOR FOOD AND DECOR FOR YOUR THANKSGIVING FEAST!

Here's tasty and easy appetizer from SULA AND SPICE

CUTE!

THANKSGIVING STUFFING

My husband's great-grandfather used to make this in his diner in Payson, Utah, many moons ago. I have been making it since our marriage and the entire family loves it--we all get together on Thanksgiving morning to prepare it. Unless there are too many in the kitchen, then I tell people to get out haha (kidding).

CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN CAKE

I found this recipe in Parents magazine when I was a young mom. It is a nice alternative to pumpkin pie and it keeps well for several days but probably won't last that long. I make a few of them as Autumn goes on and share with neighbors and co-workers, too.

My DIL made this banner and shared with our blog some years ago. Cute and DIY!

For after-dinner fun, we play this THANKSGIVING BINGO game each year. Sometimes we play multiple rounds of single-line bingo or go for a blackout bingo. It gets pretty competitive! The game shown is available online from Current Catalog (click on hyperlink) but I have seen similar games at stores such as Hobby Lobby. We use my plethora of buttons (many were my mom's) for markers or even dried beans would work. ** not affiliated with Current or Hobby Lobby.

Hobby Lobby and other retailers have the Build-A-Turkey game. We played with our two youngest grandkids (6 and 8) and it was fun and harder to be the first one with a fully built turkey than you would think! If there is a Hobby Lobby in your area, they may have some available--I checked yesterday and online was sold out.

HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!
