Our last Cancer Christmas party at the El Dorado hotel in Reno.
We always love going to the party for all of the kids of Northern Nevada that have and had cancer.
A beautiful acapella choir from Galena sang Christmas carols to us while we waited.
They asked Devree to sing with them too.
Dane and Shay messing around.
Devree got her hand painted.
The cast from Peter Pan came and talked with us. Shay got his face paiinted like usual.
Dane is happy to show his Nanobot he got as his gift. He is showing his prize with Angus the brother of Jessie that is in Danes class at school and had a rare bone disorder that they included in the cancer group.
Captain Hook really looking the part.The Northern Nevada Childrens Cancer Group is having trouble with funding and do not invite everyone anymore. Some of the staff said that if the group does not get a big donation the will continue to cut down guests after so many years from diagnosis. This is our last year and Devree has been accepted to BYUI and she will be going next year. She is trying to see if she can get into BYUH where it will be a lot warmer. But she is excited to go to BYUI too.

I totally didn't realize that devree was a senior! Yay, she is going to love BYU-Idaho. Layers is the key to surviving winter up there! My brother is up there and I am now in Utah, but go up to Idaho frequently. So, that will be fun to see Devree sometime! Glad that all is going well with your family!
