Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Party

by

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

Our party this year was a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Party.  Dinner was presented by Santa’s Elves and all the food was elf sized.  Everyone received their own book of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and a stuffed Rudolph with a light up nose!  Grandchildren got to search for presents on the Island of Misfit Toys and there were even a few reindeer games.

Other parties we have done have been a

Merry “Grinch”mas Party and

Frosty the Snowman Party.

The kitchen area was decorated Rudolph style…
