Tis the season to be jolly. And what better way to kick-off the holiday celebrations into high gear than by a
momstown Milton family Holiday Party!
On a cool crisp morning on December 15, 2012, this close-knit Milton community of mamas and their families gathered together at the
Italian Canadian Club of Milton for a spectacular holiday family event.
A warm and caring community,
momstown Milton is deeply committed to giving back and donations of new toys and books were generously given by its members for
Halton Women's Place.
And what's a party without food? The
momstown Milton families brought in delicious savoury and sweet treats - it was a fantastic feast!
momstown Milton thought of everything to ensure a smashing holiday fest and there were so many things for the kids to do that the question was, which jolly activity should they tackle first?
Being blessed with incredible Milton community sponsorship, the party was high energy and high fun!
There were poinsettias to be created with seasonal coloured paints from
Art Innovators of Milton and Flamborough - little hands could take big pieces of foam and make beautiful poinsettia art that their parents could proudly showcase at home.
For anyone still seeking out a few more tree ornaments, well, they didn't have to look any further as momstown Milton had an ornament ball decorating station replete with glittery glue, bedazzling gems and bright stickers!
Springridge Farm brought a decadent edible twist to the craft-making fun by supplying Gingerbread Men for the kids to decorate with sweet frosting and yummy candies.
Monkeynastix Milton brought in high paced energy with their obstacle course for the little ones with energy to burn!
With the flurry of activity happening at the party, the refreshing shakes provided by Paula Porter Maclean from Body by Visalus Challenge were a delightful treat! These frosty healthy shakes are gluten-free, kosher certified, and jam packed with 23 vitamins.
There were two sections filled with tons of toys and books for more ways to the little ones to play and share together.
After the children had gone through festive activity stations, the children all gathered quietly on the floor and listened attentively as Sarah from
Recycled Reading read the endearing classic, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas.
Sam Kassam-Macfie, owner of
momstown Milton, led the crowd in a jubilant rendition of Frosty the Snowman, just before the jolly old man himself, Santa, joined in on the festivities. Santa handed each child a book (brought in by each of the children's mothers) as the children sat on Santa's lap and smiled big for a picture.
And that wasn't all...with fantastic prize giveaways, the
momstown Milton Holiday Party of 2012 was an unforgettable event of fun, laughter and plenty of holiday cheer - a strong symbol of the beautiful spirit that embodies this wonderful community.
Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays from momstown Milton!
