{Real Parties} Christmas Cookies & Milk

December 6, 2011 by Leslie

I don’t usually like to re-post, but it seems appropriate to share again the first party I put together to kick off the year of parties.  The party was somewhat small, with just the parents and kids from T’s daycare class.  I still remember how much fun all the kids had together.


We served a variety of Christmas-themed cookies, including Christmas Tree Meringues, Maple Snickerdoodles, Sugar Cookie ‘Ornaments’, Pink Sparkle Dome Cookies, Gingerbread Men, Chocolate Chip Bars and Sugar Cookie Candy Canes.

The kids got to use reindeer sippy cups, and a variety of milks and egg nogs were available.

Real sugar cookies hung from a Christmas tree at the center of the buffet.

The office was completely redecorated to act as a playroom for the kids.  We simply covered the desks and monitor with linens/Christmas tree skirts.  The bookcases were covered with Christmas gift facades and a variety of Christmas decor was sprinkled throughout the space for fun.

Hot chocolate mix in recycled Starbucks bottles acted as favors.

I made several ornament wreaths and even found some last-minute snowgirls to add attitude!

 These are actually only some of the pictures of the event.  Unfortunately, I just don’t have time to go into all of the details right now.  If you want the full recap, you can check out the original posts here and here.   Tomorrow I’ll be pulling out pictures of the second party I pulled together last December, and one of my top five favorites!
