Fun With Grandma

My mom arrived in country on the 16th, and wasted no time getting down to business with the kids.  Her first project was making rice krispy ornaments with them. 
Tristan trying to be sneaky and stealing a marshmallow.
The finished product.
 Then she and Grace made some white chocolate m & m bark...
 ...and a mini cupcake Christmas tree...
(I did decorate it at least)
 ...and the leftover cake batter got baked into 5 two-tiered cakes in her Easy Bake oven.
(I didn't decorate these...)
 Tristan got a paint-by-number sun catcher for Christmas.
 And Grace got a kit to make a couple of outfits for one of her dolls, so Grandma is teaching her how to sew.
She's really enjoying this and even wanted to iron the seams with Grandma's help.  As much as I'd like for her to learn how to iron I had to say no because my iron puts off some really hot steam.
