Our Polar Express Church Christmas Party

Hunny & I were in charge of the 

Church Christmas party this year.

{Party & dinner for 240 people!}

The Polar Express was our theme.

And the children were invited to wear their pajamas.

We tried to make the room look like The North Pole

on a tiny budget.

Some of our creative girls made these huge snowflakes

that we hung from above. I loved them!

The blue tablecloths were inexpensive & added some

nice color to the room {$2.47 each at Zurchers}.

And we wrapped boxes for the centerpieces.

 Of course we had a train

& we used our Halloween fog machine 

to make "steam" coming out of the front.

One of the biggest challenges was dealing with the 

basketball hoop. We covered it with garland &
tried to make it look like a kind of a chandelier.

{It looked better in person.}

A highlight of the evening was when 

some of our darling girls entertained us with a

Hot Chocolate Dance.

-Tickets-
We had our own wonderful conductor who punched
each passenger's ticket. We bought the pdf for the
tickets - then had them printed at Walgreens with 2 on a sheet. And there was a visit from Santa 
{who gave each child a bell}.

Our menu:

• Raspberry Bread Pudding
• Frittata {crust-less quiche}
• Pre-cooked Sausage {from Costco}
• Mixed Fruit
• Orange Juice
• Hot Chocolate

Of course we had a spiritual message as well.

{It would have been empty without talking about the

REAL meaning of Christmas!}

It was a wonderful time!
