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 :) | |

| | 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 | |
