Down syndrome Family Alliance Christmas Party

 All dressed up the Christmas party!
 Blake was so excited when Santa arrived...

 Waiting in line to see Santa. Blake screaming at Blair & Dane pouting. Typical.

 Another classic. Blair will enjoy this picture one day.
The Down syndrome Family Alliance of Greenville throws a Christmas party each year complete with a sit down, home cooked meal, games and activities, and Santa Claus! Each child received a gift this year wrapped with their name on it. It was such a generous personal touch! Matt was recognized for his contributions on the board, and we tried to take in all the wonderful people we have met over the years as we will miss them when we relocate next year. There is nothing more comforting than meeting amazing people who are in a similar situation. Those we've met are so caring, intelligent, funny, nuturing, and supportive. I can only hope we meet similar people in San Diego and wherever Matt's job takes us (which we hope to know VERY soon!).
