12/17/10 Happy Holidays from Boys and Girls Country

The Northwest Houston Chapter of the San Jacinto High Rollers rolled through with their 31st annual Toy Run, bringing presents and hundreds of bikes to campus! 

Then came the Day of Wonder, a time for holiday parties in each of our children's cottages with our friends in the community, who provided holiday feasts, great company...and a whole lot of wonder! 

Our children shared the Christmas story with our guests at each party!

Then it was time for our campus-wide Christmas party...and our traditional white elephant exchange!  Each department and cottage came up with a silly and fun gift...and we spent the night stealing and re-stealing the choicest gifts from each other!

Our friend Heather Jakubenas of Show Cakes Houston surprised us with some spectacular cupcakes, including a field of snowmen...

...and an army of Santas!

Finally we had our College and Career Christmas Party, a time for our alumni...young adults who have grown up with us...to reconnect and celebrate the holidays together!

We had a great dinner and took portraits of each young adult, and presented some little gifts for our big kids...

Thank you all for a memorable holiday season at Boys and Girls Country!  We are keeping you in our hearts and wishing you joy this season and into the New Year!
