Gabriel's Snowman Party

The sweet table...sugar cookie 3's & G's, cupcakes, blue raspberry licorice snowmen, soft peppermints, powdered mini donuts, & chocolate covered pretzels (wish there was a pic of them...Jenna did such a good job).
The hot chocolate bar...with whipped cream and snowman shaped marshmallows.

Goodie bags...glitter snowflake snowman shaky cups with packets of Inst-Snow.


The cheapest decorations EVER...paper snowflakes that I made for my classroom :)



Lots of fake snow EVERWHERE...I love this cup/vase; you can take the paper out and change it for the season/occasion. It'll be sporting something Valentine's by the end of the day.



Snowman Wrap Relay...we had some great sports that got wrapped with toilet paper and decorated with black paper buttons and a scarf. Everyone won a snowman notepad.

The sweetest 3-year old EVER!
We also had a "Guess How Many" snowman marshmallow jar. The kids guesses were HYSTERICAL! Some of the little ones guessed 1, 2, or 3 (there were 143). David won with a guess of 146...he got a tube of playdoh w/ accessories.
Oh, and how could I forget the "Decorate Your Snowman Cookie" table. Thanks for all the ladies that swept the floor around the table!

We had such a nice time with our friends and the guys even watched a little of the Super Bowl. I wish the pictures were better, but as usual, I waited until the last minute (and in some cases, after the party) to take them. If you want some better photos, head over to my friend Jennifer's blog The Perry Trio (at right, don't have time to link).
