Winter Celebration

The first day of winter was a few days before Christmas. Not wanting to take away from Christmas, we waited to do our Winter Celebration until today. We invited our friends over to enjoy all things wintery with us.

We had yummy treats.
I made these little marshmallow snowmen.

We painted snowy pictures with rosemary branches
(because I didn't have any pine needles).

Using stuffed garbage bags, we made a snowman.
I found the hat, carrot, and eyes/buttons in
a "Build Your Own Snowman" set in the Target Dollar Bin.
It came in quite handy.

We made bird feeders using a paper plate, peanut butter, and birdseed.

Then we played with a snowy sensory bin.

We had snow (cotton balls) flying everywhere!

Our friends Lylah, Bella, and Eliza all went home

with their own handmade felt build-a-snowman set and a snowman necklace.

And thanks to my friend, Lara, everyone also got a delicious bag of snowy white cotton candy.

It was the perfect end to a fun morning.
