Piano, flute and guitar music was played during dinner by Sonda Jacobson and Scott Snider. They lead us in a sing-a-long after dinner. Santa Claus also made a special appearance and was available for many photo opportunities. It was a very festive evening.

/Gracewood of Hugo staff and residents had a surprise baby shower for Katelyn, a caregiver at Gracewood. We surprised Katelyn with gifts and treats. We knew Katelyn was having a boy so we decorated with baby blue and we even had sugar cookies with blue frosting. It was a fun afternoon.
White Pine of White Bear Lake-November
/November was all about those who are around us each day. We celebrated Veteran’s Day with a tribute to them and thanking them for their service. We also celebrated the birth of yet another centurion, who had her 100th birthday on Thanksgiving Day (we now have 3!). and a wonderful Thanksgiving with many families and friends in our building !
