Every {Vote} Counts!

Us leaders, were trying to teach the girls about Voting today.
We talked about what voting means, the older girls made commercials and campaigned.
We decided to have them vote on our upcoming Christmas Party.
It's going to be our badge ceremony as well, so we thought we should start collecting things.
 Amanda did a great job on the voting booths...!
 Serena being adorable and making a difference by voting....!
 Kenia getting her "I Voted" sticker!
 Our leaders voted for our favorites as well...!
Every vote counts...!
 I had to put this picture of Sandy. She's so cute..!
 The votes were counted...!
The results are in.....
Gingerbread Themed Christmas Party
Pizza for the Main Course
Secret Santa Gift Exchange
Aren't these ballots adorable?!
The girls had a fun time voting...!

I made "half" a rainbow cake. This one had 3 layers instead of 6 layers.
I didn't take pictures of how to make it, but I found you a really good link of how to make this Rainbow Cake. Click here!  It is really easy to make and super cute. Enjoy!

You've Been Booed....!

"You've Been BOOed!"
There are so many ways of Booing people. Google "You've Been Booed" and you will find printables of signs and directions for playing the game.
In our Girl Scout Troop, we assigned a house to each family that wanted to play...so it goes in a circle.
Our family Booed someone, then that family Booed their person that they got, and so on.
This is what we gave to our person...!
 It was a hilarious adventure that my girls are raving about...!
They had so much fun...!
