We sing some carols, the children each play a Christmas carol on the piano in the NH Dining room as the residents gather for lunch. We all visit with the residents and give hugs, etc. Then we go down the hallways and carol for those residents who are unable to go to the dining room for meals. The smiles we see on those faces as they listen to the songs and see the little ones sing are wonderful.<BR/>After all that, we gather for lunch at Papa and Grandma's, where this year I had assignments for each of the grandchildren to help set the table, fix the veggie, fruit and cookie plates, etc. We had lunch on the table in no time at all, and were able to relax afer Christmas lunch. Then we sang some carols before dessert...red and green jello cubes with a dolup of cool whip and red sugar sprinkles on top of the cool whip. Looked great. Joshua and Hannah did that, then everyone sampled all of the Christmas cookes from the beautifully arranged plates, )Thanks to the grands for setting them up. <BR/>We missed the Carters and Uncle Tim this year, but are thankful we were able to talk with them (you)per phone. May you all have a blessed Christmas and New Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117532823734180507.post-38793650586935390772008-12-25T18:23:00.000-06:002008-12-25T18:23:00.000-06:00We travel to Ohio to be with MY FAMILY!!

They are loving it and I want to continue it into the new year.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272619172307382646noreply@blogger.com
