This past weekend we had the opportunity to help out with the Special Olympics Christmas Party. This event is so important to many of the athletes and their families, it is a chance to honor the athletes and a time to celebrate their accomplishments as well as Christmas. Cathy Johnston has been putting on this event for several years and it is near and dear to her heart because she lost a son who had down syndrome when he was very young. We were so happy to help doing face painting, painting fingernails, and singing Christmas carols. Santa came and read the Night Before Christmas and passed out presents to all of the athletes. We had so much fun and were glad we were invited to such a wonderful event.
