A Wee Little Success!

Last Sunday Kysha Winters and I hosted our first "Wee Little Christmas Party!" Children and their parents joined us for an afternoon of cookie decorating fun! We made Peanut Butter Blossoms, Sugar Cookies, and little Reindeer heads using Nutter Butters dipped in melted chocolate.  Pretzels were used as the antlers, red hots for the nose, and white or green round sprinkles for the eyes.  In addition, the children made snowflake ornaments using colorful gumdrops.  Fruitloops and lifesavers were also used to make a tinsel type ornament for the tree.  Here's a sneek peek from the event.  It was so hard to choose which pictures to post.  All the kids were SO cute!

The centerpiece for the event.  I made the gumdrop tree :)

Caroline arriving to the party.  Precious!

Caroline's in her pointing phase.  She wants everyone to see what she sees :)

Canon was quite cute.  He had a ball rolling all over the living room floor, stopping at intervals to give me his best model face.

Emma being her beautiful self!

Even the adults had fun!

Hudson, amazed by ALL the sugar! 

Hudson was like the cute kid you see in the Pillsbury commercials.

Kysha and Michael making the reindeer cookies!

Michael kissing Caroline.  We've been plotting their marriage since they were zygotes.  LOL!

Michael caroling with the carolers! Too cute! He must take after his mother.

And who are these kids??? That's my older sister and me about 18 years ago making Peanut Butter Blossoms with mom :) I'm thankful for a mother who could give us such special memories and traditions.  LOVE YOU MOM!

And as promised . . . there was a special drawing for those that attended the party! Congratulations to Diane MaGee! She is the winner of a FREE private photo session for her family! 

I can't wait for this year's Spring event.  I'm thinking of bunnies, flowers, and colored eggs! Hope to see you all there!
