We got the idea of 'snowflake' party from my sister in law, who had one for my niece. We had a total of 7 girls altogether from school and church. When the girls arrived we made a craft, we then had a balloon game (snowballs) in the living room while we waited for everyone to finish their craft. We had hot-dogs, chips and grapes for lunch.
We then decorated a cookie (to look like a snowflake) to put in their goodie bags. Once we were done with that we had a snowflake hunt. (we hid snowflake pictures on the main floor of the house). We then played a game called ' melted snowball', similar to hot potato. When a child was holding the snowball (sock with newspaper in it) and the music stopped they were out.They got a piece of candy for their goodie bag.
The next game was a marshmallow relay. We had two teams and they kids had to run to a bowl of marshmallows and with a spoon carry some marshmallows to their team mate and so on.
The favorite game was a relay dressing in winter clothes game. We used my husbands huge coats and hats. They had to put on snow pants, gloves, scarves, hats and coat. It was very funny!
We then opened presents and had snowflake cupcakes and ice cream. Another great idea I got from a friend is doing a 'highlights' hidden picture. You can get this off the internet. The kids did this until they were picked up. It was a great party for all. I got most of my ideas from the internet! I will post pictures soon.

Celeste,
What was your age range for this adoption again? I saw a little boy on the MOJ waiting children's list today and thought of you (because I follow your blog), but couldn't recall your specific criteria.
This little guy turns three this months. If you're interested in more info, please email me at viviane 8 @ yahoo.com and I will send you the google translation of what MOJ has posted about him.
