we started a new tradition last year called "christmas in august". yes, my family LOVES christmas!!! and when it gets to be the middle of the summer we really get ready for it...so we decided to do something about that : ) this year stacy hosted our fun night.
she had so much good food ready for us...cheese fondue, sausage balls, puppy chow, chick-fil-a chicken nuggets, and chocolate covered strawberries!! it was delish...we all brought canned goods for a food drive that mom's work is doing so that the girls can learn the importance of giving to others. they had so much fun filling up the bag of cans.
stacy had crafts for the girls to do and for us to do. the girls had these wooden things to color that they can stand up and put on their dressers and they look like snowglobes. the girls all love snowglobes, so these were a big hit.
we older girls painted picture frames and then decorated them with christmas stickers.
no christmas party would be complete without gifts, and gee the christmas elf brought lots of them! she gave all the big girls a pink fuzzy notebook with their initial on it, and kolbie got a stuffed animal. for the sisters she brought us each a pink bag that says "wet bikini" to finish out the summer, and these really cute scarecrow candle holders to get us ready for fall!
we went ahead and drew names for christmas while we were there, so now i can start thinking about what kind of gift stacy would like! we all had so much fun...thanks stacy for all your hard work getting this together! now i'm just ready for fall to be here already!!!
