Caroling, Caroling We Will Go!
On December 22, children of all ages from our Foster Community spread the joy of Christmas by caroling for friends, families and a local nursing home. About 28 children participated in this fun evening and it took a caravan of 5 cars to transport all the singers! The event was planned by Adam Scott, Recreation Director and several of Southmountain’s foster parents. Other staff also went along including Ben and DeLynn Garza, Keith and Debra Buchanan and Yvonne Vance.
Adam’s wife Tracy brought along Christmas hats, bells, shakers, and tambourines to liven up the singing, and the group visited 8 homes as well as Magnolia Lane Nursing Home, where the children brightened up the residents’ evening. After caroling, Adam and Tracy hosted a bonfire in their backyard and everyone enjoyed pizza, homemade cookies, veggies, and hot cocoa.
The children (including some of the teenage boys!) really enjoyed the singing. Some of the children had so much fun that they want to go caroling again, and cannot wait until next Christmas!
