Christmas Party

momstown Central Alberta did the last big event of 2010 with a bang at our Christmas Party last week!

We got crafty with some Christmas ornaments & picture frames, and enjoyed some snacks provided by some of our mamas and our friends at Rice Krispies.  Congratulations to Kayleigh B. who took home the fabulous Rice Krispies prize package!

The big highlight of course was a visit from Santa Claus!  We saw all sorts of reactions to jolly old St. Nick - but overall the kids were so excited to meet him.  He brought each kid a present to open and everyone had a chance for a quick visit and a picture with him.

We had a fantastic morning filled with wonder and made some warm holiday memories!  A big thank-you goes out to Twitchy Finger Photography for helping us capture all of our festive moments!

Join us in the New Year for more great events and help us make some new memories!

A Morning With Santa!

momstown kicked off our holiday celebrations on Friday with a Morning With Santa courtesy of Kelly Tibbets of Professional Mortgage Planners at Parkland Mall.  The idea was to teach our kids all about the true meaning of Christmas!

The kids each brought a gift for a child in need to be donated to the Christmas Bureau and a donation to the Food Bank and learned that giving to others can truly be as satisfying as receiving.  In exchange for their generosity, each child received a special star to hang on their Christmas trees and a certificate acknowledging their donations.

They then got to have their faces painted by June from Candy Faces

Decorate (and eat!) gingerbread cookies

Listen to stories read by Mrs. Claus

And of course spend some time with the big guy himself!

It was a heart warming morning - and the kids had so much fun learning all about giving to others at this special time of year!

A Night Out!

The mamas of momstown Central Alberta took a night away from the kids last week at Hot Pot Studio!

We each got to pick one or two pieces to paint - and let our imaginations go wild!  Some of us created Christmas gifts for our kids or other family members and some of us enjoyed the time by creating something special for ourselves!

 What a great night away from it all!  Some good friends, a little wine & a lot of fun!

Wine, Cheese and a little help for The Girls!!

We had a great night out for the moms last night at The Bra Lounge!  We sipped wine, munched on some yummy treats, visited with friends - and did some shopping! 

Sheena and Cortney really know their stuff!  We learned that bra sizes do indeed rise above the traditional range of DD - and that this is in fact NORMAL and doesn't mean that you are some kind of mammoth creature.  They took the time with each of us to find the bra that was just right - and suited our individual needs and taste.

I loved the experience (its so refreshing to see what TRUE customer service looks like!) and will definitely be back!  I was too busy having fun to remember to take pictures, so you'll have to remember to use your imaginations!!
