Supper 'n Serve
Make plans to join us on Wednesday, Dec. 16th at 6:00 pm for our Supper 'n Serve. We will be making Gingerbread Houses!! If you have never made a Gingerbread House, you are in for a treat. Each house will be $10.00 which includes pre-assembled house and extra candy and icing. We had a great time last year. If you want to decorate a house, you can email, text or call me @isagiggles@comcast.net or 615-336-5467 to let me know. I will need to know if you want a house or if you want to share a house.
After assembling our houses, we will write cards to the teachers at local schools thanking them for their service and dedication to our children. Come on and join us. It promises to be a fun evening.
