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.

Grinch Party Invitation

A very “grinchy” grinch party sounded like a great idea to make the grandchildren’s Christmas visit memorable. I started with special Grinch party invitations for each grandchild.

The kitchen was decorated for the Grinch Party…Whoville…

My granddaughter Becca decided she wanted to help so she drew Whoville. I decided to use it as our centerpiece.

Whoville by Becca Long

Becca also had a wonderful idea. In the story of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” the Grinch takes all the presents. So she wanted to hide presents around the house and let people find the hidden presents. She and I went to Target bought everyone some small presents, wrapped them and hide them so they could go on a present hunt and find the presents the Grinch had hidden. Becca never even asked for one present for herself and helped every step of the way and directed the present hunt. I was so proud of my sweet granddaughter.

We ate a grinch dinner of Who Roast Beast (Chicken); Who Hash, but our Who Hash was green macaroni and cheese…”Who-roni” (I knew no one would eat hash); Green Beans; Green Jello; Grinch Milk; Green tapioca pudding (pudding bar); cookies; cupcakes; green candy canes.
