So Naomi sat down at the table to help finish the paper chains.... "I always loved making these when I was little..." The children hung on her every word.... "My grandmother first taught me how to make them." "I've always enjoyed making them as well. Sometimes I think we should just save them from year to year, but where's the fun in that?" Then Ringo wanted to know..... "Did you really make these candy canes?" "Yes, I did...." "But how? Mom always orders ours from the Bake Shop in the village. I really love them, but they only make them at Christmas." 'Well, I have a special book full of recipes, and it has instructions on how to make them." "The cookie recipes are in there too...along with lots of other things Baron and I enjoy." "So...then....you could make them any time you wanted, and not just now at Christmas...."

It's wonderful that the children are working on an activity that "Auntie" Naomi remembers doing as a child. I am sure she can teach them a ton of fun activities and they can teach her about the ones from their time.
