Busy Christmas Season, thanks to Cancer Support Groups!

Just wanted to post a quick update and share what Serenity has been up to so far this Christmas.
She has seen Santa three times!

First was at a family Christmas party:

Then she saw him again at the Make A Wish Foundation ‘Christmas Cookies with Santa’ activity:

Finally, she saw him again tonight at the Christmas for Children with Cancer Foundation:

While there, she also saw Cosmo the BYU Cougar again!:

But her favorite part of this evening was getting to hang out with her “Cancer Sister” (as she calls her) Brinley!!! Brinley also has ALL and is just a few months behind Serenity in treatment. We’ve grown pretty close to their family and really appreciate their family, they have the cutest kids in the world! (besides us of course 😉 )

Serenity is funny – Brinley is one of her favorite people, she talks about her all the time and makes sure we pray for her every night. But, whenever we get together with Brinley’s family (and whenever we’re around anybody for that matter), Serenity goes into her bashful to the doctor about to poke her mode. She begs to see Brinley and buries her face in my chest the moment she gets there.

We still have a couple more parties coming up so I think she’ll see Santa at least once more before Christmas. I need to say though, we sure are grateful for the organizations that put on so many events – especially around Christmas! That list include The Make A Wish Foundation, Hope Kids and CCC.
