Christmas Craft Round Robin

After all the wedding hoopla was over we remembered, oh yeah, it's Christmas time!!! In order to get more in the spirit and fun of Christmas we organized a round robin where we did different crafts and cooking at each of the 3 family houses in the area. Mom's house was graham cracker gingerbread houses, Angie's was SUPER CUTE and easy hand print snowman ornaments, and Carrie's was sugar cookies. We broke the 24 g-kids into groups and shuttled them from house to house to enjoy the festivities. Fun filled night!

Justin and Zach trying to figure out the best way to fit LOADS of candy on the roof.

 Creative Auntie Angie heading up the craft rotation. The super cute snowman handprint ornaments.

Aren't they adorable?? They were easy and relatively clean too! Some white paint, an ornament, a hand, and some sharpies is all you need.
This isn't my picture, but this is exactly how they turned out. Ours are even blue too!

 A bunch of cousins working on sugar cookies. It was so fun to see the dynamics between all of the kids. They are all growing up so much!

 Aw, and to think this cute face was throwing up an hour later. :(
Poor Kara.

 While waiting for the cookies to bake the kids could make their own gift tags or cards with Christmas stamps. Or just stamp all up your arm like Kara preferred to do.

 Decorating!
Sugar cookie, frosting, and marshmallows...sugar overload anyone? Isn't that what Christmas is about?
(P.S. I don't have any pictures of Kate because she was in another group with one of her favorite cousins Nani. It was weird not to have all 3 with me!)

Maybe weird not to have all three at once, ...but probably a nice break for you! This looks like so much fun! I will have to try the ornament thing next year. Love it!

What cute ideas. I think I'm going to do this next Christmas. Remind me, okay? ;) How fun to have all the cousins around for it too!
