The Snow Owls wrapped up the holiday season with one of our favorite traditions: our 4th Annual Holiday Ornament Decorating Event. This year’s turnout was our biggest yet, with over 60 Snow Owls coming together to celebrate the season, spending quality time, and getting creative. Each dad and daughter had the chance to personalize their own photo ornament, turning laser cut wood owl photo frames into meaningful keepsakes. From paint markers, pipe cleaners, and glitter balls, the creativity on display was impressive. It was especially fun to see how differently each pair approached their designs, some bold and colorful, others simple and heartfelt, but all uniquely theirs.
​
What made the event truly special was seeing both dads and daughters, collaborating, laughing, and helping one another bring their ideas to life. The room was full of holiday spirit, reminding us why these shared experiences matter so much. While every ornament had its own personal story, one design clearly stole the spotlight. The “Six Seven” ornament quickly became the crowd favorite, earning plenty of smiles throughout the day.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this event such a success. The ornaments will undoubtedly hold a special memory for years to come. We’re already looking forward to our next events:
