Christmas Crafting Meeting Summary

Our crafting and cookie exchange meeting was really fun! A big thanks to Cassandra for arranging all those great crafts for the kids, thank you to the Kingsland library for loaning us their space and also thanks to all the wonderful moms who helped the kids at the meeting. We made many crafts: personal elf ornaments, ball ornaments that opened up for the young ones, jingle bracelets, beaded candy canes, decorated cookie bags and colored Christmas pictures. We also ate and exchanged lots of delicious cookies and had a storytime with Robin. Merry Christmas!
