Christmas Craft Party

Sarah with Monica and longtime friend Paige! Paige is Sarah's bestest buddy from preschool adn the Quatama ward. I LOVE that they have remained good friends since our move 4 years ago.

I believe this is the 3rd or 4th year of our traditional friends Christmas craft party. It began with Sarah inviting a couple friends. Last year Natalie got to invite a couple friends and, this year, Angela was old enough to invite two friends. They each had two friends over and we had a fun and rambunctious time making crafts while listening to Christmas music. Oriental Trading had some great craft kits that made planning easy. This year we made "scratch it" Christmas tree ornaments, bracelets, sticker cards and messy graham cracker treats. I love this tradition. It's what Christmas is all about - smiling happy children, laughter, friends, family, love . . .
