We're celebrating the season and party hopping on our weekends. There are only three weekends this year to cram all the festivities in. Miller slowly counted down the days until our neighborhood friend Marshall's cookie exchange. Our party guy lives for these kind of socials. The more crazy chaos, the better! It's such a blessing to have so many first grade boys in our hood.
Can you feel his ho, ho, ho merriment?
He wasn't the only one enjoying the neighborhood party. The PreK girls were crafting up a storm with stickers and stamps galore. I still marvel that I have a calm girl who sits in one place long enough for a craft. Marshall's mom is famous for her neighborhood parties. We huddled inside her rented tent attached to her garage with heaters for this shin dig:) She had prearranged party games to liven up her house. She's one brave lady to host all these kids.
Four dads volunteered to be dressed up like a Christmas tree with tinsel, crepe paper, bows , candy cane earrings and silvery decor.
There was a reindeer nose competition. The party goers had to swing their heads back in whip lash fashion to get the red pom pom to attach to their Vaseline greased noses. It was so entertaining to watch the pin yourself on the nose game.
Attaching the pom pom by hand always works out too.
Word searches, puzzles, and brain teasers calmed this wild bunch down before dozens of sugar cookies were frosted and sprinkled. Our neighborhood elf crew donated lots of toys to be given to Toys for Tots. Celebrating the true spirit of Christmas with generosity to others is what we're trying to model over and over. We're hoping it's making an impact!
