Gingerbread House Activity Night





Over 100 houses were decorated on Dec. 13. At a cost of $5 per house, participants received a house made out of graham crackers, a tube of icing, and as much candy as they could fit on the house (and of course, some went in the mouth!)



Staff and volunteers used 23 boxes of graham crackers and 72 pounds of powdered sugar to assemble the houses and to fill the bags of icing. How much candy? Too much to count.



Everyone had a wonderful time making memories as well as houses.

Thomas the Tank Engine




Children and their parents had lots of fun with Thomas the Tank activities on Nov. 15. They made Thomas train engines out of boxes, put together puzzles of Thomas and made treat bags.
