Holiday Party

After much planning , our Holiday Party has finally come and gone! All I can say is 'whew!'

I really do need to get more parent volunteers, I feel bad for the children forced to miss events because they're off manning an activity. That be said, thanks to my child-photographer who took an individual picture of every girl at the party so that they could have a keepsake.

thanks, lady!

Overall, the girls (and 1 boy) enjoyed themselves...

They made ornaments; squeezing paint into glass balls and turning them upside down to drain the excess paint. After empty; the caps were replaced and ribbons and hooks attached.

Voila!

A finished ornament! A great addition to any tree!

They also made mats for Kwanzaa, by weaving red and green strips of paper into a sheet a black. A simple project to celebrate the season

The girls also colored icing and decorated gingerbread cookies. I was so set on traditional icing colors; green, red, white, maybe blue...but the moms got a hold of my gel colors and let the girls go to town with the colors choices, and I'm glad they did. 

The pink was adorable, as was the yellow, and maybe even the brown pants I saw one wearing!

and when it was all said and done, they ate them!

Overall, not a bad night, but I could not have done it without the parent volunteers who mixed icing and glued pictures; served pasta and cut paper!
