Grinch Party

The students of Carnahan Academy planned a Grinch Party for Friday, December 9. It made for a fun day for the family. The kids worked hard Monday - Thursday so that their regular work was out of the way. Along the way Levi especially planned out the party. He made a list of all the elements a Grinch Party would need. He made a pin the heart on the Grinch Game, drawing the Grinch and cutting out hearts. He had Landon make a music playlist on Spotify, and made sure I had a plan for snacks.

We started the party by making Grinch Cookies.






 I used a gluten free drop cookie recipe, then added the food coloring and red hearts. While the cookies were baking we played the game.







 With the last tray of cookies in the oven we gathered around while Kyle read, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

Then we made pizzas for lunch.



Then we made pizzas for lunch.
After lunch the kids watched the animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas. While they were watching the movie in the basement, I made Grinch Punch. Grinch Punch is one scoop of lime sorbet and Sprite. It was fun letting the kids guess what ingredients were in Grinch Punch. They also enjoyed the cookies.





During rest time Elaine helped me make gluten free sugar cookie dough. We baked a few of them and froze the rest of the dough. The kids then each decorated 2 cookies a peice after rest time. Kyle joined in too.






The Grinch Party was a success!
