We started out by going to Jefferson park to run out all our extra energy. In groups of 4 the girls went to the dollar store and armed with a list and money of their own, they picked out a present for everyone on their list. They then paid for and got their change. Once all the girls had a chance to go Christmas shopping for their families and they were done playing at the park we headed back to the center.
The girls set up their beds, started making note cards and wrapping their own presents. For dinner they had pizza & salad while they watched Christmas shows. After dinner the girls made smores for dessert. After dessert the girls made gingerbread houses. All during this time the girls were also doing their hair and dressing up for their pop star photo shoots.
After everyone was done it was 1 in the morning and the girls were ready for another Christmas movie as they settled down for the night.
The next morning they slept in and got up to hot chocolate, donuts and fresh fruit. After they were awake enough to tackle it they cleaned up and then it was time for home.
Caroling
The girls love to go caroling. In a safe retirement community the girls walk along the street singing Christmas Carols. We gave them a bunch of glow bracelets to decorate themselves with since we were going at night. Their favorite carol Rudolph the Reindeer
