Polar Express Pajama Party

That’s right my little elves, you can wear your pajamas in public JUDGEMENT FREE at this event! At the Putnam’s pajama party, you’ll play games, make holiday crafts, experience the Polar Express on the giant 3D screen, and most importantly…take advantage of the hot chocolate station. In conclusion, you can come see everyone’s favorite christmas movie while you drink hot chocolate IN YOUR PAJAMAS. This is what dreams are made of!

Niabi Zoo: Winter Wonders

I have three words for you: Brunch. With. Santa. That’s right my reindeers, the Niabi Zoo is offering breakfast (for those of you who wake up early…can’t relate) and brunch with Santa! After your meal with Santa, stop over to see the bossest babe in all the lands, Mrs. Claus, for cookie decorating. As if that weren’t already enough for me to be in attendance, they also have face painting and a trolly to visit the Zoo. This event is great for all ages! See you there!

No matter what your interests are, the QCA has something artsy for you to enjoy! I hope you all have a happy holiday season! If you need me, I will be *exclusively* attending events that I can wear my pajamas to (cc: Putnam’s Polar Express Pajama Party) because it is COLD in the Quad Cities. Stay warm my little bundles of holiday cheer.

Xoxo, pajamas 24/7 girl.
