Hello Macaroni Families!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The holiday season is in full swing and there are many great holiday events to enjoy! See my special edition, the Christmas and Holiday Fun Guide, for details on where to meet Santa, where to see Christmas lights, where to see tree lightings, catch parades and more! I'll be adding to this guide as I come across events and feel free to send any event information to stephanied@macaronikid.com
How many of you participate in Elf on the Shelf? This is our first year with the elf and, so far, my 3 year old daughter loves looking for her elf each morning! In the picture above, our elf is decorating my daughter's tree! I'd love to see what all of your elves are up to! Submit photos to stephanied@macaronikid.com or post them on my Facebook page and I'll pick a few to feature in next week's newsletter!
I love to shop local whenever possible, how about you? Check out the 2013 Holiday Gift Guide for some great gift ideas from local businesses!
And finally ... know someone who would love Macaroni Kid Franklin/Spring Hill?
