Butler approves of all the decorating at the home.
Everyone had quite the sugar rush while decorating their Christmas cookies. The cookies had residents reminiscing and talking about favorite Christmas memories.
Residents came to our annual Christmas party where they enjoyed Christmas cookies, eggnog, cider, Christmas music and opening up presents that were donated from local or- ganizations. Everyone was excited to open their presents!
December 16th we had some amazing flute players play for our residents and filled our home with much
appreciated live music.
December 17th FOCUS Homeschool students sang Christmas carols and our residents light up like
Christmas trees seeing the children!
