Me, well I miss watching movies with friends at my house, riding bikes through the neighborhood, roller skating, eating extremely unhealthy food just because it tasted good, talking on the phone for hours, and playing with dolls. Yes, I miss playing with dolls. So throw me a party! A "Be a Kid Again Party"... get all all the old toys, put some cartoons on the big screen, and serve up some candy, popcorn, pigs in a blanket and just let your residents enjoy being a kid again--without kids around. :D You may be surprised at how many residents will make friends with each other when they discover that they share a love for the same nostalgic toys! Hot Wheels, Barbies, Big Wheels, Legos, Connect Four, FUN FUN FUN!... They'll talk about how... ]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:20:00 -0700 5508 2013-01-03 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_toy1-1357251602.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/children-events/5507-cupcake-decorating-party http://www.residentevents.com/children-events/5507-cupcake-decorating-party Every child needs the opportunity to engage their inner artist – or just make a colossal mess – and cake decorating can give them the perfect opportunity to experiment with colors, textures, and new tools to design a prized creation. Come prepared with plain cupcakes and equip your guests with decorating tools, icings, sprinkles, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and anything else that would provide a unique color or texture to add to the fun. ]]> Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:33:00 -0700 5507 2012-12-12 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_cupcake-party-flyer-1355333623.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/thanksgiving-events/5506-harvest-dinner http://www.residentevents.com/thanksgiving-events/5506-harvest-dinner Our Thanksgiving was held one week before Thanksgiving. I arranged for an area restaurant to caterer. We set up our community room as a restaurant with linen table cloths, napkins, nice dishes and glassware. The tables had beautiful lighted laterns with grens and log pieces tha the tenants made. For a surprise we had a harp player play during our meal. Also during coffee and pie. We even sang grace. It was a great evening with friends. ]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:46:00 -0700 5506 2012-11-21 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_68003-341212382643438-796427361-n-1353519976.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_207592-341212522643424-512448019-n-1353519976.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_publication3-1353519976.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/activities-and-games/5505-modern-day-fun-house http://www.residentevents.com/activities-and-games/5505-modern-day-fun-house People can’t avoid interactive silliness, which is why you will see all sorts of people acting like complete weirdo’s in front of a curved mirror at a carnival to make themselves short and fat, tall and skinny, or some other bizarre look. But now you don’t need a giant curved mirror to create your own fun house! Just hook up a webcam, iPad, or some other device that has the ability to manipulate images to a large screen TV for loads of wacky fun at your apartment party. As a side note, if you think these images are completely dumb, remember to see things from the eyes of the person playing with it! When I showed the images to my wife, she just rolled her eyes and thought I was an idiot, but for me, it was absolutely a blast! So even if... ]]> Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:33:00 -0700 5505 2012-11-20 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0022-1353440024.JPG http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0009-1353440024.JPG http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0008-1353440024.JPG http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0014-1353440024.JPG http://www.residentevents.com/holiday-apartment-events/5504-a-very-merry-pinterest-christmas http://www.residentevents.com/holiday-apartment-events/5504-a-very-merry-pinterest-christmas As www.pinterest.com continues to explode in popularity, provide an opportunity for your residents to exchange new recipes and learn to make something crafty for their front door. Guests are encouraged to try a new recipe and bring a copy for their fellow guests. Event organizers can take the completed recipe cards and photocopy them so that every resident leaves with a new collection of recipes, and you can make color print-outs of blank cards so that residents can have the opportunity to copy down recipes onto custom cards once they return home. Set up a wreath-making station and walk guests through the steps to make their own wreath. If you’re crafty, provide more than one option and let them add their own unique flair to the design. Encourage guests to decorate their front doors with the wreaths during the month of December.
