4th Annual Patients Appreciation Party

Yesterday we had our annual Patients Appreciation Party and we had so much fun!

This is our favorite day of the year at Smiles For Kids.  This year, just like last, we rented out a movie theater and started out with a carnival of games and food.  We had a great time playing BINGO.  Stefanie did a wonderful job leading this game and many kids won gift certificates to Toys R Us for winning.



Meantime Morgan led many little ones in the game of Hullabaloo.  If you've never played this game, you should look for it!  It is so much fun.

Martina had the spinner game where kids could win all kinds of fun jumpy frogs, necklaces, tatoos and stickers.  And they sure did!  Malgosia and Michele were our face painting artists and so many kids walked out with rainbows, pumpkins, snakes, elephants, swans, hearts and flowers on their arms and faces.


Daniella was our master arts and crafts lady.  She helped kids color pictures and make picture frames.  She did a great job taming the crowd there!


Finally Yvette worked as a team with her son Alex and directed kiddos in the bean bag toss.  They had fun.


Carrie and Kasia welcomed everyone and distributed raffle tickets so that everyone had a chance to win some fabulous prizes such as Toys R Us giftcards, Children's Museum Membership, Houston Arboretum Membership and gift certificates to restaurants around town.



It was so fun to see all the smiley faces and to see all the kids have so much fun!  And of course you cannot have a party without pizza so we all ate tons of pizza!

After a little bit over an hour of all this fun we finally settled down into our seats and watched Chicken Little.  What a fun movie that is!  Everyone munched on popcorn and chilled out for the next hour and a half.  Thank you guys for coming to play with us!  It was so much fun and we hope to see you soon in the office and next year at the party again.
