December 11 -- "Christmas" Meeting

Since tonight is our only meeting for the month of December, we decided to make Christmas gifts for a loved one... parent, grandparent, aunt, cousin, etc. Now we can't tell you what was actually made since it might be your gift we are talking about, but the girls had loads of fun doing these!!! They also created the "gift bags" that the presents are wrapped in!! Hope everyone enjoys their present and we wish everyone a Happy Holiday!!!

Our next meeting will be January 8th. We will make our recipe books during this meeting. If you have not brought a recipe to contribute yet, please bring it to this meeting! We will be sure to include it!! Can't have too many good recipes, right??!

Stay tuned for more updates soon!!

December 5 - Cookies Crafts & Carols!!

Tonight was our "neighborhood" Council event, which was centered around the Christmas theme! By "neighborhood", we mean that we held this event with other Daisies, Brownies, and Girl Scouts from the neighboring schools -- Washington, Longfellow, and Joy Elementary schools!

Cookies Crafts & Carols 2008 was held at Wesley United Methodist Church in Indian Hills from 7PM - 9PM. Each troop was designated to their own table/station where we got to make crafts such as snowglobes, christmas tree ornaments, decorated note pads, and even a christmas tree puzzle that we were able to color and decorate! And let's not forget the yummy christmas cookies we were able to frost and decorate and then gobble down for a snack!! YUM!! YUM!!

After cleaning up our tables, we all sat in the center of the gym and sang christmas carols!! Our leaders told us to sing really loud!! While we were singing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" we got a surprise guest... you guessed it... SANTA CLAUS!!!! We kept singing christmas carols and each troop got to take a turn getting their picture taken with Santa Claus and receiving a bag of treats from him! What an awesome night!! Check out the pics!!!

Also, just a quick reminder... because Christmas falls on a Thursday that would normally be our "meeting night", we are only having one meeting for the month of December. Our meeting will be on December 11th, but please note the time change! This meeting will be held from 6PM - 7PM. Mark your calendars! We will see you then! Thanks!!!
