Christmas is for Young and Old Alike

Thursday night was the Sunrise Christmas Party

for residents and their family's so Mike

and I were thrilled to be able to

join Mom for a fun evening.

(in spite of the root canal I had done earlier in the day!)

This is the entry to Sunrise...they

always have things decorated so

beautifully for each season or holiday!

We made sure Mom's room has a

touch of Christmas too....eventhough

she says she doesn't do Christmas anymore.

They served hors d' oevures upstairs with some lovely displays.

Sorry...crumby picture but at least you can get

the idea....then they served a lovely prime rib dinner

and we were joined by Rowene who is a new

resident and is 95 years young.

Here is Beth who was helping

get everyone in the holiday spirit.

(She recently lost her husband and has

a new job as head of the welcome committee)

Finally we were entertained by the resident

choir singing Christmas songs.

All in all it was a really fun evening.

You should feel sad you didn't get to join us!!

Mom has gotten lots of Christmas greetings,

so even if she doesn't "do" Christmas anymore...

Christmas is finding it's way to her!

Then today I got to be present for

Jude's preschool Christmas program.

I was SOOO glad to get to go since

I haven't been able to see any other

programs this year!

And let's just say....I wasn't

disappointed!!

This darling boy knew every song and every

poem or verse PERFECTLY, not

to mention he was the cutest, most

handsome guy there....by a long shot!

Greta was so proud of big brother

and was struttin' her stuff in her

Jesse boots and fancy curls!

The guy in the red suit made an appearance...

naturally!!

Jude's teacher LOVES him!

And of course, his two biggest fans were there

cheering him on. (Love Ya-Ya!)

Adorable family...thanks for including me!

This was the first of many more grand
Christmas programs to come.

Can't Wait!!!

XOXOXOXO
