This is the party for all the staff families and the residents. I am so blessed to be in such a warm and wonderful environment!
The front area...
The kids getting ready to sing. We sang several songs for the residents. :-) The kids did a great job!
One of Ruby's friends
I just love this guy!
Santa
She makes lives a little better. She comes to work with me a couple of times a week and visits the residents. When she does not come with me that's all I hear about. "Where's Ruby?" She is such a sweet little dog and we are so lucky to have found her.
One of the sweet residents.
This is sweet Maxine. Ruby loves to visit her and sleep at her side. Maxine is 94 and completely blind. She is amazing.
Since this is the last Sunday before Christmas I took a few pictures of us in our Christmas outfits. We went off to church where we all took part in the Christmas program. I was in the choir, Jared and Cai Lynn sang when the primary sang, and Michael with the young men. It was a beautiful program.
As we were watching "A Christmas Story" and "Charlie Brown Christmas" two of my faves.
This last week we had 7, yep seven concerts to attend! Crazy! Here are pictures from three of them.
This one was actually the last one for the week I just put them in out of order. It was the last day before Christmas break and it was pajama day. Here the kids are singing "Mr. Santa". (The 6th graders can't wait to lead this one!) That's the Principal sitting there. She is a HUGE fan of the arts because she also happens to be an Opera singer. She also joined in on "Silent Night"... It was AMAZING!
Jared is now in the audience... while they sang carols
Ruby at my feet
The teacher's turn
There's Cai Lynn
So here we are at "Shopper's Square". It's a little local mall.
From Jared's concert and off to Michael's (A quick bite to eat in between)
Yep, this is what she did through-out the entire concert. LONG day!
We had a little ornament exchange with the residents and staff. It was so much fun. Some of the residents made their ornaments.
Lucinda and "Diamond 'Lil"
