On November 23 we celebrated our 7^th Annual Festivus Party! Our entire Footprints Family was invited for a free pizza dinner with treats and lots of holiday cheer. From face painting, to balloon animals, to our Holiday Spirit Squad performance, there was something for everyone!

What is Festivus?

Our Festivus Holiday Party started as a way to give back to our Footprints Family. At the beginning of the studio we hosted our Festivus Party at the studio as a potluck supper. Our families contributed to a Secret Santa gift exchange and also received their Footprints ornament for the year. Santa always made an appearance too!

Festivus 2018

Now, seven years down the road, our Festivus Party has grown with us. This year we were excited to host our Festivus Party at the Oxford Auditorium to accommodate all of our families.

Rather than a potluck dinner (who wants to cook for 400+ people!?), we opted to have a free pizza dinner with treats for our Footprints Family! As some traditions changed, we were excited to continue to give out our handcrafted special FDC ornaments still!

Everybody likes free pizza!

Last year, we brought on the fabulous Mrs Sarah’s Face Painting and invited their team again to celebrate with us. We are so fortunate to have so many talented and helpful assistants as well to run some fun booths for our students – from balloon animal twisting, craft station and colouring – our assistants were busy keeping all of our Footprints Family entertained!

This little dancer LOVED his balloon flower!

Our Holiday Spirit Squad also joined in on the fun! With a nice sized stage, we couldn’t resist the opportunity for our Spirit Squad to perform. Each group did an amazing job presenting their fun holiday themed routines. Watch out as they begin to start performing throughout Oxford County this season.

Our Junior Holiday Spirit Squad Team performed with the biggest dancing smiles!

And no Festivus party would be complete without a visit from Santa! We are always so delighted by the expressions on our little dancers’ faces when the jolly old man makes his appearance.

This Footprints Family was extremely happy to get a whole family photo with Santa!

Thank you!

Thank you to all of the families who came out and partied the night away with us! We are so thankful and fortunate to have such an incredible Footprints Family!
