Snowman Playdate

Typically when I arrange for playdates it's during school time hours, which means that it's always with preschool aged kids. When I told Cayben we were going to have an after school playdate with a kid his age he was stoked.

Our friends arrived yesterday afternoon. Cayben jumped around acting like a growling lizard for at least the first 20 minutes. He has an interesting way of showing his excitement I guess.

I had arranged for the kiddos to make their own snowmen. Due to snow's dependability issues, I had planned for the snowmen to be made from powdered donut holes and other edible goodies.

The snowman building supplies were set up like so:

Donut Holes & Pretzels

Reeces & Sour Belts Cut Lengthwise

Coconut & Frosting

Mini Chocolate Chips

After they had built their snowmen, I painted a snowman on their faces.

Embrie wanted a Christmas tree too.

I had also arranged for a couple of games, Pin the Carrot on the Snowman and Snowball toss, but by this point they were tired of structure and just wanted to play.

For the Snowball toss, I was going to let the kids throw marshmallows through the holes.

I also made outfits for my snowbabies. You know I can't ever keep things simple. 

This one is having a melt down. ( I couldn't resist!)
