This morning,
momstown Whitby-Ajax members all got together to spread good holiday cheer and celebrate the holidays with a Christmas Party. Yesterday evening, we were hit with a significant snowfall, so as today approached we were quite nervous about whether the party would be able to commence or not. Thankfully the roads weren't all that bad. Quite a few members had to back out, but otherwise the turn out was great!
We had a Christmas tree set-up, holiday music playing and lots of yummy treats for everyone to enjoy. My contribution to the day was a cute little
Christmas Tree inspired by the
Rice Krispies Imagine & Make recipe ideas, as well as some Rice Krispies treats. (I'll make a separate blog post later this week that will show off in greater detail of the Christmas Tree I made, as well as provide you with some steps on how to make it at home. )
The Moms of young infants mingled on the floor, while the other tots played.
For circle time, we'd planned to read 'Twas The Night Before Christmas.
But the older kiddies decided they would rather color and do a craft instead.
Today's craft was a Stick Christmas Tree with Glitter Decor. Some children made funky-colored trees; while others decided they would rather make sparkly fairy dust wands. It was very cute to watch their imaginations come alive!
To make the tree, check out the
momstown Arts & Crafts blog for further instructions. This is certainly one of those crafts that you can enjoy doing as a whole family, and adapt however you like.
We were provided with a great little gift bag for today's event containing cereal, baking sheet, cookie cutters, etc. from Kelloggs to giveaway to one of our lucky partygoers. Towards the end of the event, we did a draw and the winner was Liana. She was more than thrilled to get inspired and create something delicious with her whole family!
Today was a great day! The holiday cheer is certainly being felt in
momstown Whitby-Ajax!
