We had an oddly skinny Santa stop by and read us a story then afterwards we all shared Christmas memories.
Merry Christmas To All! 🎄🎅🏻

Here’s a couple of our residents chanting Bah Humbug!

Day 26 of 42 days of cheer we had a delicious time celebrating National Cookie Exchange Day. We ate cookies our culinary team made us mixed in with some store bought ones too. We also had a wonderful time getting to know Jane, our new Resident Services Director! 🍪

Wow, wow, wow! Day 25 of Holiday Cheer was an absolute fun-filled blast!🎅🎄❄️

To kick things off, resident Tom Thornburg led us in prayer for the fourth Sunday of advent. We also lit the according candle as well.

Next, Brunch with Santa - SO MUCH FUN!! We all had a jolly (see what we did there) ol’ time! With an amazing spread prepared by our culinary staff, serving goodies such as peppermint cake, salmon, chicken thighs, a fruit and veggie tray, and a bunch more! Take a look at our chef prepared plates! Then, Santa!! Who doesn’t love a visit from Saint Nick himself?! Residents and staff were excited to grab a picture with him!

After Brunch with Santa, we showed residents Arrows D&I video, Winter Solstice! You may read more about Winter Solstice in the picture below.

And lastly, we were visited by Christmas Carolers! Who doesn’t love festival sing-a-longs near the holidays?! We know we do!

🎅🧑‍🎄🎄❄️☃️❤️💚

Welcome to day 24 of Holiday Cheer!

Today we started our morning by playing a fun game of Holiday Trivia! We had our residents team up and put their knowledge to the test! For the residents great teamwork, we let them pick out their very own bingo prize!

How many questions can you get correct?! Let us know in the comments!🎄

What a wonderful and bittersweet evening at our resident and staff Christmas happy hour with Robert Sampson. 🎄✨
So grateful for the laughter, connection, and memories shared. While it was a celebration of the season, it was also a heartfelt send-off for Rachel, our Resident Services Director. We will miss her dearly, but are so happy for her as she follows her heart.
Can’t wait till you come visit us Rachel—thank you for everything. ❤️

Day 23 of 42 days of Holiday Cheer!
We had the best time dressing up in our ugliest attire for Christmas!
Linda certainly got our attention with her garland jingle bells sweater, but all of them were atrociously festive!
