Cookie Fun
Wednesday, December 16 from 3-4:30pm
Lisa's house

Lisa will have pre-baked cookies for the kids to decorate. When they finish, there will be plenty of time to play or perhaps watch a movie in the basement.

From Lisa:
First, anyone coming to the house to decorate cookies I have had to change the time to 3:00-4:30 (moved a 1/2 hour back - gives me a little time to get Dylan home from school). We have plenty of cookies for all and lots of icing and decorations for the kids to use. I also have those take home boxes for the kids to take all their cookies home with. We will have apple cider (made with Michelle's tastefully simple mix), hot chocolate and of course cookies - I will also have apple juice boxes for those wanting something cold. Michelle - I have plenty of diet coke for you. Hope to see you all here - plenty of room for anyone.

Gingerbread Craft
Tuesday, December 8 at 3pm
Steph's house

Steph, a.k.a. Queen of Crafts, will have gingerbread houses for the kids to assemble and decorate.

From Steph:
We are doing gingerbread a little different this year. I will be providing a blank house, royal icing and fondant. Fondant is an edible sugar dough the kids can make figures, trees, wreaths etc. with. Royal icng is "glue" but also works perfect to create the look of snow. If you could each bring candy to share for decorating that would be great.

I am making houses only for the number that has rsvp'd but it is not too late. If anyone wants to come tomorrow that has not rsvp'd please let me knoe tonight so I can get a house assembled for you!

RSVPS: Michelle, Jody--spice drops, Julie E.
