OMG what a party!

Well, as you can see from the picture above, it was a busy night at our first ever Christmas Eve at Kid's Night party! I think it was a success!
Everything went pretty much according to plan except we forgot the Christmas carol singing! (Whoops!)
Other than that, it was a little noisy and there wasn't a seat to be had for a while, but I think, (I hope) everyone had fun.
Thanks to my wife and daughter for all their help, and to all the parents and grandparents as well that contributed by bringing stuff and helping out during the night. I couldn't have done it without you all!
Thanks also for the cards and gifts.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all. Watch for the picture in the paper!
And yes, we will be here during vacation week!

Another BUSY week! Party Next!

Don't know where everyone's coming from, but it was another busy night this week, and so I think next week's Christmas Eve at Kid's Night party will also be fairly busy! The last Kid's Night before Christmas has traditionally been a very quiet one, so that's why I chose to do the party then, but, well, we'll see how it goes!

My plan is to set up a separate table in the area by the claw machine for the decorating, so we can keep our usual areas for crafts and the stories later. The first hour (I hope) will be crafts, so people can arrive, and eat and we'll have all the toppings and such that people are bringing. Around 6 o'clock we'll start the decorating. When we're done with that, hopefully somewhere around 7, we'll go back for some carols and stories.

PS, if you signed up to bring something, I'm guessing around 25-30 kids. IF you didn't and still want to bring something, feel free to. Lastly, don't feel like you can't come if you didn't bring something. please come and share in what I hope will be a memorable Kid's Night for all!

Topping list update , found a coat and more!

First off, thanks so much to everyone who has signed onto bring something for the Dec 20th party! I think we have everything we need but feel free to bring a little something if you still want. We will have cupcakes and now cookies to frost and decorate, some drinks, and all the other stuff!
Should be a nice night!

I think I know who it was, but someone left a girls small pink coat, and if its who I think, I don't have your email, so I left it up front at the store.

It was a very busy night this week, but lots of kids went home with lots of decorations! We never got to games, but I think everyone still had fun!
