Cook Children's Hospital always decorates the entrance
in a very Christmas Holiday Decor |

The party for the children took place behind the
receptionist in the activities area - by the huge
Christmas Tree |
 |

|

Members had time to socialize before the festivities
started |

The stuffed animals were prepared and
placed to hand to the kids after they visited Santa |
 |
|

 |
besides the stuffed animal, the kids 3+ received a box
with another stuffed animal, crayons, books, etc. |

Barb & Cassie got
the craft tables ready |

Santa
showed up and was ready to hear the kiddo's wishes -
you'd swear he was the one and only |
|
|

Santa
was great with the children (again)
- he has been here well over 20 years; many of you might
remember him from Mrs Bairds when they had Santa visit.
it is truly great to see the kids eyes and faces
light up, even under less-than optimal circumstances.
For various reasons, we do not post photos of
any of the kids - it was nice to see a smaller than
normal turnout this year - and not because they were not
able to come down :) |

Mari was giving flip-flops -
they give $3 for every pair purchased to help kids
battling cancer
EECU had their tablet setup for the
kiddos to come play games and to win prizes |
 |
|
|
 |
 |
|
 |
Before Santa left, a few had a chance to visit and
grab a quick photo with Santa,
although I didn't get anyone's photo besides Cassie |
 |
|
|
Some of us look forward to this event each year, to help
bring smiles to the faces of the kiddos that are
unfortunate enough to have to go thru the issues they are
here at this wonderful hospital for, especially this time
of year.
It was great to see fewer kids than normal
and we hope that it was because fewer were sick and having
to be in the hospital |

If you haven't had the pleasure of serving at this heart
touching event, please consider it next year |
