Holiday Extravaganza

WOW, what a time we had yesterday!! 29 residents enjoyed coffee cake, donuts & hot chocolate with the elves:




We had lots of activity at the raffle table, where we raffled off a snowman, gift tags, cards, a recipe book and even a framed puzzle donated by the puzzle group!

We took pictures in front of the Christmas Tree:

We took a short lunchbreak and came right abck to the party to celebrate the Cookie Exchange. 18 people either baked cookies or bought them for the exchange. We had A LOT of cookies to exchange!


After eating and exchanging crazy amounts of cookies we moved onto the Karaoke Party! 40 residents came to sing, listen to music, dance and eat! We served punch with cheese and crackers and sang OUR HEARTS OUT!
We even have proof that the men CAN sing!

After our concert we had 17 crafters come in to make holiday refrigerator magnets and everyone even got to take home a kit for making handmade holiday cards! Here we are crafting:

A group shot of the crafters:

We were having so much fun that some of the men even stayed to watch the crafters and enjoy more punch!


THIS PARTY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR A VERY LONG TIME!! Thank you to all who participated, we had SO MUCH FUN!
