As an incentive to bring friends to this youth group event, a deal was made. If 15 kids signed up then Carol would wear an elf costume to the Wrapping Party. Well, they did it and so Carol dressed accordingly!
The kids were busy right away wrapping their gifts for families in need. There were dolls and books to gloves, towels and lotions. In total, we wrapped about 30 gifts for the Advent Angel Tree!
Then we had a building contest with mini marshmallows, spaghetti noodles, and frosting. Needless to say, it got a little messy! After a wash of the hands and the tables we did a couple minute to win it games!
The kids enjoyed some food and settled in to watch ELF. Almost everyone came with 'festive dress' for the night. Costumes ranged from giant christmas packages (big enough to hide a 7th grader inside!) to roaring fireplaces complete with stockings and reindeer antlers to elves and christmas trees!
Our ‘most festive dressed’ winner was Kathryn Heimer (Christmas Tree) who took home the award for the THIRD year in a row! The vote was very close and Caitlyn and Lauren Salinas (elves) came in as the runner up!
