A Whoville Christmas Party!

Every year our friends have a Christmas party. I have been wanting to host it and Alyssa was nice enough to let me! My friends at work actually came up with the theme of a Whoville Christmas party. The party was a lot of fun and I had fun planning it!

Here are the invitations:

The inside was cute. It said:

Don’t be a Grinch this Holiday Season,

Not quite convinced? I’ll give you a reason:

This Christmas Wholibration will be lots of fun!

We moved our couches out of our living room so we could fit everyone in the same area. Here are the decorations:

These are the place settings. Everyone had a place card. The red ones were for the girls and the guys had green Grinch ones.

Our menu was "roast beast," cheesy potatoes, salad, vegetable tray, homemade rolls, and corn. For dessert I made some cute cupcakes (that I didn't take a picture of!), and some delicious cheesecake brought by Tim.

Little Seth (sadly I don't have a picture of his mom and dad! Alyssa- maybe you can send me one so I can add it :)

After dinner we played a Grinch Trivia game. Most of the questions were from the book, but a few were from the movie. It turned out pretty fun!

After the game we watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the animated version) and then everyone just talked while the kids tore apart my house!

The party was a lot of fun! I was so happy that most everyone we invited was able to come. We are so lucky to have such fun, great friends. Thanks everyone for coming and making it a great time!
