Lots of Parties for Hosting

Well, another month has flown by!  My brother got married, grad school finals, 100 Rotary commitments, and a baby girl to raise later, and it is magically December.  SLOW.DOWN.TIME.

Saturday is Malley's playgroup party.  And yours truly is hosting!  Some little girls dream of their wedding day or of pounding the pavement at a Wall Street job.  I dreamt of Christmas traditions with my little family, and hosting parties for my kids.  True story.

Playgroup parties are funny.  None of the moms eat, but every hostess makes a huge display of food. The dads are so involved in our group, and it is wonderful! We always have a blast watching these littles play together.

We will have pictures with Santa and salt dough ornaments to make, and cute holiday snacks.

Here are my plans from Pinterest.....



Who doesn't love a salt dough ornament? 

And Pretzel kisses..... I may use Rolos.....

These are just too cute and easy! 

Hopefully Malley's 2nd visit with Santa will go a little better than the first.......
Poor baby has some serious concern written all over her face!





Sunday we're also hosting a progressive dinner for our neighbors.  It is truly the most wonderful time of the year!  Now off to menu plan.....
