This year we decided to take our nephews to our ward party with us so that their parents could enjoy some alone time. (Side note: Not quite ready for 5 kids - 4 of them being boys :)) But, I was so excited for all of the kids to meet Santa and decorate cookies. Unfortunately, the party this year was a little bit disappointing. It was a SUPER SWEET party - but only if you are super old. It was Hawaiian themed and they had a lot of cool stuff, but it was all zero kid friendly. I mean, we have three nurseries - so the majority of our ward is children. Come on!
They had these sweet punch fountains that all of the little kids contaminated almost immediately. They had sweet tables with grass skirts around them that were torn down almost immediately. And they had awesome center pieces that were super breakable that the kids tried to attack almost immediately... And the most depressing part - no Santa!
Here's what our table looked like with the interesting food choice.
Aidan's expression says it all.
Our only saving grace was this little thing that covered only our table. The kids did a good job picking out table.
Here's my nephew, Dylan. He was the instigator with these weird things. He kept trying to convince me that something was in them, to which I replied there wasn't anything and stop touching them! So finally we gave in and told him he could open one and see and of course - there were little kid presents inside! Ha! Matt and I just started laughing. Only our table had these things and we decided to let the kids have at them - since they were constantly being told they could touch NOTHING that was there.
Here's Livy and Jake. They were LOVING the music.
Some sweet moves.
Cutest little bugger ever. At least he liked the party.
