My boys at work gave me a wonderful gift bag on Friday filled with some nice gifts & goodies for Xmas & one of the things inside was a gingerbread kid kit, I loved it, made it & ate it(& I don't usually like eating gingerbread.) 😋❤

Had a wonderful Xmas dinner(but we used Turkey breast instead of making a full-on turkey, it was okay but still not as good as the full turkey bird lol but less work & I guess that is not a bad thing, either.) We had Turkey breast w/ creamy mashed potatoes, turkey dressing, mixed vegs w/ gravy & cranberries, & S&P to season; had a tossed salad on the side(iceberg lettuce, with chopped up tomato & cucumber, sliced mushrooms & rinsed under cold water, shake in a colander to get rid of extra water, put into bowls top with shredded cheese & bacon bits & ranch dressing & apple pie a la mode for dessert(we got out pie from Walmart, it was not the best pie I ate & will not be getting that pie again.)
