2015 Mall Trip

Today (12/11/15) was our annual Louis-Joliet mall trip with our friends in the STEPS and PATH programs.  As always, we had a great time!  The kids were able to bring money and their shopping list for 2-3 people.  Everyone was able to visit with Santa and tell him what they would like for Christmas.  Lunch was a big hit too!  The mall trip is always a busy, but super fun day in December!

The mall is always great too because we see several other programs with students with special needs out doing their Christmas shopping.  I was able to see some friends from the REACH program in Minooka who I worked with them they were 6-9 years old!  It was fantastic to see all those faces again...all grown up and still doing awesome! :)


Hard at work on their lunch! :)

Visiting Santa!

The kids each got a cookie plate from Santa to leave cookies for him on Christmas Eve! :)

Love that I get to see my "old dogs" from time to time! <3

 TRAILS and STEPS friends! :)
