We used the event to bring inToys for Tots.

EVERYBODY'S SO BUSY!
But, we had a nice time anyways...

last year for the all the neighborhood kiddos
to work on,
and,
unfortunately...
...the paint had turned into putty!
Made for some fun "experimenting"...
...and the two and under crowd enjoyed"painting" with the water!
After the social,
we went home and watched the
Charlie Brown Christmas Special on TV...
Good memories...
************************************************
Today, since we had leftovers from theNeighborhood Social...
...Almost Unschoolers inspired us to makeCandy Cane Fudge!
(Her tutorial is a must read,
since it is written for the perspective
of the wee ones...)
This recipe also enabled me to get ridof some sweetened condensed milk
I had stored in the fridge...
...which the kiddos found entirely disgusting...
...until the tasted the final results!Oh, I love this season and all the fun that it brings...

For more Christmas cheer,
head on over to Holiday Bliss 2010...
Thanks for the nice words! It looks like your kiddos ones had a good time all around :)
