4 Dec ~ Mom's League Christmas Party

Today I had the honor of chairing the Christmas Party for the GCS Mom's League... a lot of time and thought went into it. Because the budget was extremely limited we had to get creative and make a lot the goodies ourselves. I had a great time with several of the ladies (now sweet friends) getting ready for today. I was so happy that everything went seamlessly....and it seemed everyone had a great time!


Here are a bunch of photos from the day...

(I loved these little guys...)
This was the table where the kiddos wrote their letters to Santa and put them in the mailbox headed to the North Pole. The children received personalized letters back from Santa with a "nice certificate" that arrived on their doorstep Christmas Eve.

Here the kiddos decorated their cookie for Santa.

And of course, the Big Blue Choo Choo, which is by far the favorite part (ok, maybe next to Santa)...
This was Pushcart Alley.
And the line for Santa...
The coloring tables

Our time with the Big Man...



Sailer and her cookie...
Sailer making her ornament for her tree:
with daddy's help...
The fun pics...

My very least favorite part of the day....
Santa reading the Night Before Christmas to the kids.
And singing carols with Santa... they loved to get to sing into the mike!
[I just adore this photo of my friend, Sherilyn's, little girl in awe of Santa.]
A little parting gift.
