As we bid farewell to the year, we’re reflecting on the incredible memories made during the holiday season here at Totally Kids. Our 12 Days of Christmas were filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments that brought our community together in the true spirit of the holidays.
The festivities began with a lively Christmas Party, spreading cheer and excitement throughout our halls. Residents and staff joined together for games, music, and delicious treats that set the tone for the season. The celebrations continued with the heartwarming Lights & Sirens event, where local heroes lit up our campus with their festive displays, filling the night with wonder.
We also added a new favorite to our holiday lineup – karaoke , where residents and staff belted out their favorite tunes, filling the air with laughter and holiday spirit. These moments of connection and creativity were as heartwarming as they were fun!
The grand finale came on Christmas Eve, a magical evening when residents gathered around our beautifully decorated Christmas tree. As they unwrapped gifts from generous donors, their smiles lit up the room, creating cherished memories to last a lifetime.
