(Well, it really happened in December, but here it is July already! Where does the time go?)
The 3rd annual Christmas Party for some of the local children and families was held on December 22, 2018. We are incredibly delinquent in our blog posting! So sorry!!
Once again, Toni & Gib hosted the now greatly anticipated event with the help of Liz & Ray and Ellen & Ed. Each year, we feel the need to outdo the previous year, or at least offer up something new. Disney’s Frozen was a theme incorporated into the Snow Village and so a special backdrop was masterfully created by Toni, Ellen and Ed.
Ellen and Toni were busy in the kitchen putting together the treats for the party.
Ellen has made it a tradition to give a handmade Christmas ornament to all of the children. This year she crocheted over 50 Santas!
We always have some fun arts and crafts for the kids to enjoy and take home with them.

Of course, a piñata filled with candies and treats was part of the fun.

Alfredo helps out by emptying the piñata into the air.

Time for a swim in the pool!
Wow! The Snow Village and trains were incredible! Over the top! Toni and Gib really outdid themselves this year.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious cookout!

A little Christmas cheer goes a long way to keep Santa happy!
We are already planning the next Christmas party. The kids (and adults) enjoy it so much!
