Jenna's Christmas Party

In our neighborhood, there are 15 girls that are Jenna's age. If you add the boys, there are 7 more. We decided that for Christmas it would be fun to have a little (OK, big) party for the girls. I offered to host the party and the other girls Mom's either sent stuff for a craft, sent some snacks, or came and helped me with the party. We started off with making a craft. The girls decorated some foam gingerbread men or Christmas trees with stickers. What a selection huh?
When the girls were waiting for all of their friends to arrive, many of the went downstairs and played dress ups. Some of them didn't want to take their dress ups off.


A couple of the girls are in morning Kindergarten with Jenna, but the majority of the girls are in the afternoon so it was a fun thing for the girls to all play together again. Last year, most of the girls were in a playgroup together, it was quite a group.


Jayden was happy to enjoy the snack with them.




Snack consisted of various crackers, apple slices and caramel and Jenna's favorite crackers with the spreadable cheese.


Really this group of girls is quite remarkable. They all really enjoy each other, and RARELY have disagreements.








After snack, they decorated some cookies and then we had a gift exchange. Each girl brought one gift and then after doing a big switcharoo, they all went home with a gift from someone else. The funny thing about the party that we will have to remember for next year (if there is a party) is that they were just so excited to all be together that mostly all they wanted to do was play. Well, play and have snack that is!

Hosting all the girls was really sweet. I know Jenna must have loved it.
