Grinch Party

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!


This year we started a new tradition, a GRINCH party!  Our Grinch party consisted of wearing our pajama's, eating Grinch cookies, drinking a green Grinch drink, and watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas on the floor with all of our cuddly blankets. I found the Grinch Cookie Recipe from the blog, The Hungry Dudes.   One treat that my daughter loves is Andes mints so I knew this cookie would be a two thumbs up with its Andes mints, chocolate chips, and mint extract. 

The Grinch drink was also very easy to make and very tasty.  It is sprite and green sherbet   YUMMY!!

We watched the cartoon version of The Grinch, when the kids are older we may try to watch the Jim Carey version.  The shorter version worked great for my little 21 month old.   

I love starting our own traditions.  What do you do with your family?

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...
