Santa came to our home along with 9 little girls in their jammies. They each sat on his lap for a picture. Isn't he just the best Santa?
My husband painted wooden frames with chalkboard paint and drilled holes to make holders for two pieces of chalk.
This chalkboard frame gave them an activity to keep busy while all the girls were arriving and also served as a holder for their picture with Santa. We took the pictures at the beginning and then during the party my son and husband printed them and placed them in the decorated frames for each girl to take home.
Each little girl had a special place.
They ate pancakes, sausage and bacon while they
chatted and giggled with Santa!
Santa asked them about the letters they each wrote to him.
He read them The Night Before Christmas
and gave them each a gift.
The gift...
a crayon holder (tutorial here).
Santa had to be on his way so we went outside (yes in our jammies and slippers) in the COLD for the snowman pinata.
It was "cool"!
We finished with loads of lovely presents and the best snowman cake ever (Thanks Aunt Jenny!)!
Ahhhhh to be 5!
See the party invitations here.
AUHmazing…that’s all I have to say!
Every Little Detail! And Props to your hubby for helping out!
Merry Christmas!!
XOXOX
OK!!!!!!!!!! All I kept saying through this post was, “OH MY GOSH!!!!” It is allllll soooooooooooooo stinkin’ stankin’ (keeping in the Christmas Grinch theme) CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this party idea! My son was born on 12/30 and I make sure we do a separate party for his birthday. So.. the gifts for the kiddos were the frames, picture with Santa and the Crayon keeper. LOVE all of the ideas here. I would like to make that Crayon craft for my son, but maybe make it larger for pencils…
Seeing this party idea makes me wish my birthday was in December!!!
Looks like so much fun! The next time I turn 5 I am SO having a breakfast with Santa party
