0

On Saturday, December 2nd we had a jolly afternoon at the YWCA Greater Green Bay visiting with Santa and participating in crafts and games! And, we can’t forget the delicious cookies, hot chocolate, and coffee. The afternoon would not have been possible without our wonderful community partners. 

The Photography

Trista Klein Photography is AMAZING! Each family received a digital image with Santa. She captured precious candid shots as well as the classic portrait. You can check out the gallery of pictures from the event here. Be sure to check out her website and FB page.

The Fun

Face Painting by Lori made the day extra special with her out-of-this world talent. The kids lit up seeing their faces decorated with festive designs.
