Boy we just never know where we'll bump into Santa this Christmas season .

Yesterday Maggie went for her checkup at Shriners for her back and lo and behold Santa and Mrs. Claus were there waiting for us .

Shriners is a beautiful place. They have redone the whole hospital. The staff there is great. From the people who do the admission to the doctors. Everyone there has been wonderful .

Here they already had a present waiting for Maggie .  When we got home and opened it , it was a baby's first blanket.

Maggie enjoyed having Santa hold her . She smiled at the both of them.

Santa's helpers wanted to get on the action too. Here was elf " Too Tall" and one of the staff members. They just thought Maggie was a doll.

After being held it was time to go back and get her x-ray . She didn't fuss not one bit .  Then we came back out and visited with everyone in the waiting room.  We meet so many nice families and the children there are so GREAT. They all have different problems but the nice thing about going to Shriners is you can see past all of that and see just the Kids.

Finally it was time to go back and wait .  Their rooms are just so kid friendly. Not even in a pediatrician's office is it this kid friendly. I mean they have a toy box in each room and a toy maze on the wall for the little kids to play with while you wait. Sometimes we get right in and the doctor comes right in . But sometimes we have to wait. There are alot of families that come to Shriners.

This room was the JUNGLE room.

Well that is all the pictures I have for now. In a few weeks we go back so I'll get some more.
