Children's Christmas Party

Christmas has passed but I am not ready to let it go! 
So today we invited over our cousins and a
few friends for one last Christmas Party!

Up go the poms!




Stools make perfect little craft stations.





We started with a little scavenger hunt.
They found all the clues :)


Then they got busy crafting!







A little hot chocolate with Mrs. Clause.




Of course there were cookies!





Best of all was time spent with good friends.



Oh & I almost forgot..
The favors.

I got this idea from Sarah over at Light.


I have to admit....the first idea that I pinned that I actually did!
Homade candycane play dough.

So now Christmas....I am officially saying "See you next year."
:)

What's up with Mrs. Clause's snowman? She trying to be a Picasso? ;)
The kids had so much fun at each of the stations, and especially doing the scavenger hunt, even though the clues had no rhyming words...JK All spoken like a sister :) Excellent party! Thanks for having us! Z & I had their play-doh out before I even started to get my sleeping Cal out of the van. Truly they loved everything! Thanks!

Wow, looks like they had so much fun. I guess my invitation got lost in the post?!

So sorry I've not stopped by sooner. I hope that you and your family had a magical Christmas, although I know somehow that you will have....

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2012.

Hugs xoxo
