PARTY!!!! (by:Jacob)

We weren't quite ready to let the holidays go when January came so we decided to have a Snow Party. We got out all the things that we have that are light blue, silver or white. We also saved the white lights from Christmas and strung them up all over the house. We even hung icicle lights under the table. It looked awesome! I cut out some giant snowflakes from wrapping paper (which turned out to be harder than it looked because it is just so cotton-pickin' thin!) and we put them up to add the proper mood.

Leahona got into it too and made up this pin the nose on the snowman game. She also made a crossword puzzle and a word find. She is so-o-o creative! We also looked up trivia about snow online and had people do that too.

We invited several families to come. We made it an open house type party from 11-4 so that nobody would feel obligated to stay the entire time. We had a good turn out and our guests enjoyed the challenge of bringing a white treat. We made white pizza (ranch & chicken), white punch (invisible strawberry-kiwi kool-aid, 7up and pineapple sherbet), white spritz cookies and melted snowman soup (potato soup made with mashed potatoes that had a carrot and two raisins floating on top). Everyone especially had fun with the activities Leahona had ready.
