For New Year’s Eve, Ivan went bowling in the morning. Then he was a “big kid” and laid his sleeping bag out in the room of big kids for half sleepover. He was treated to New Year’s sugar cookies made with wishes for the New Year and he ate the “E” in Hope and had a green-iced smiley face for happiness. He asked for a third cookie, but that was overly optimistic and he was denied. Never hurts to hope.

A good New Year’s Eve!
