Santa came to town a little early...


HO HO HO




Last night we held our annual "Santa visits Caring for Women to say hello to all the children" party. The last few years I have not participated, but this year I couldn't wait to be apart of the festivities! Of course I had to volunteer because I LOVE planning things, decorating, etc... We had 36 kids RSVP (which meant that as "Santa's Little Helper", I had to purchase a toy of their choice for each child... a little overwhelming but so fun at the same time). I had so much fun decorating what we called "SANTA'S CUBBY HOLE". Guiliana seemed interested in Santa and really only cried due to it being a long day in which she is use to being home during that time of the evening on a weekday. We had hot chocolate & marshmallows, cookies, brownies, milk, snacks, good eats. It was good times! I got some great help from my gals at work. Without their help it wouldn't have been such a success!

All of our hard work...

So, I wanted to make a cute sign for the entrance to Santa's area and had asked Dr. Hlavacek for some ideas because she is a huge scrapbooking craft queen. She literally made this out of 2 pieces of poster board, 2 sharpies, and ribbon. She is amazing!!!
