Welcome December!
It is time for the holiday celebrations to begin from New Iberia to Morgan City. We are updating the event calendar daily with new events for you and your family to enjoy. Several events that were originally scheduled for this weekend have been canceled or postponed due to the inclement weather in the area. Be sure to check with the original event host before heading out!
We were back in the studio this week with Alex Worstell for crafting fun. Check out our super cute holiday penguins. Find out what you need to make one with the kids this weekend! You can also watch our segment from this week on the News 15 Today YouTube Channel.
Looking to take in some holiday lights? The New Iberia Decorated Community is back this year with the Best Christmas Decorations contest! Read all about how you can enter and take a tour of the decorated homes! Macaroni KID New Iberia is proud to be a part of the sponsors for this year's contest!
Soups are my jam! My daughter made an amazing turkey soup with our Thanksgiving leftovers and we usually can not get enough potato soup around here during the winter months. We have some great winter soups for you to try this week that are kid-approved!
As we move into December, we have so much more than just Christmas to celebrate. Read about all the holidays, causes, and events to celebrate this month with your family. As always, we would love to hear from our followers if you have a special holiday that your family recognizes during the year. Email us at mackidnewiberia@macaronikid.com with your suggestions for the upcoming months.
We know the kids love to write a letter to Santa each year asking for their favorite gifts. But how special would it be if the kids got a personalized letter from Santa himself? Macaroni KID was on the nice list and we have the inside scoop for YOU to get your letter from the big guy himself.
There are so many events happening this month that I may need to borrow a few of Santa's elves to help me keep up with all the work behind the scenes. But with that being said, we do have the top 5 recommendations for you and your family this week!
Now, here are our top recommendations for this week:
