Dear Santa,
Thank you for coming to our Down syndrome party. I had fun. I’m glad Ben and Bradley got to come. It was fun to see my friends. My boyfriend Skyler was there, different Ben was there, Ivy was there and Natalie. I liked the dance a lot! I liked the boys that danced with me. The food was good. I want to remind you what I want for Christmas. I want to get a doll. That’s it.
Love, Lily
Note from mom – On Wednesday we went to a wonderful Christmas Party! A young man had contacted me to see if there was anything he could do for the UDSF to earn his Eagle Award in Scoutung. Well… Let’s just say he earned his Eagle in grand style! He along with his family, friends, fellow scouts threw a big bash! With Santa, games, crafts, dancing, and brownies with peppermint ice cream and hot fudge sauce! I love these kids. I have loved being the president of the UDSF. I just feel so honored to be part of all this. I have a picture of Bradley and want so badly to post it, but I won’t. I feel strongly he needs to be with us.
P.S. I guess the card thing in the last post is no longer working. Rosie was kind enough to let me know and sent a link where you can send cards that will really reach soldiers! Thanks Rosie!





Looks like a fun time! So glad you got to see Santa and all your friends!
I really miss the UDSF Christmas parties. So much fun!
We had a great time… as usual!!
We had a great time – despite the lack of a nap and being terrified of Santa!
Great pictures! Looks like everyone had a wonderful time.
Hi Lily….Isn’t Christmas fun? I hope you enjoy every minute of it.
Hugs, Balisha
what a great Santa and Lily looks so sweet
