Santa
was great with the children
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 :)

|
The Party is Over
|
 |
after the party, we deflated all the props - additionally,
we loaded all the extra toys and took them back to the toy
room |
 |
 |

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. |
