Santa came to Solari Hospice!




Our office manager, Jackie, dressed up as Santa for the Christmas potluck. She was quite the convincing Santa. Nobody figured out it was her. I really wanted Leilani to get a picture with Santa for her first Christmas but I didn't want to take her to the mall Santa. Call me crazy or overprotective, but I was afraid of all the germs Santa had on him from all the other kids. Anywayz, I told Jackie about my predicament in passing not expecting her to do anything about it. She went out of her way to grant my Christmas wish. Thanks Grandma Jackie!! In fact, double thanks for enduring the heat!!! Your a champ!

Merry Christmas


I'm going to get on my soap box for a second so bear with me (or just don't read this entry). It's really bothering me that everywhere you turn you see Christmas being marketed as presents. The pressure to spend everything you have and some of what you don't to make sure Christmas is perfect is crazy! They practically jam it down the our (the consumers) throats! "Get her the perfect gift" or "Get him what he really wants this Christmas". And every year it seems they market it more and more, and more and more people end up getting caught up in it all. Just a reminder that it's not about giving or getting the perfect gift, it's about giving from the heart and being grateful for what you have and those in your life who love and care for you. For me personally it's about God giving us the best gift of all, his only Son. So this season, try to slow down and really meditate on what the spirit of Christmas means to you. Thanks for reading my crazing ranting! Take it for what it's worth. Just my opinion, not meant to offend.

Much love and many blessings to all,

pictures

I can't help taking pictures of her, putting bows in her hair, dressing her up in different outfits. Poor thing, all she wanted to do was sleep but she was being so cute! She throws a fit anytime I put anything on her head, but bows and hats are so fun and adorable!


Play time with daddy! Yay!!!


She loves playing with the toys that hang in front of her. Her favorite thing is looking at herself in the mirror. She giggles and giggles. It's entertainment for at least 10 minutes! Then she usually falls asleep.


One of her many cute hats that I can't help but dress her up in!
