HDSA Christmas Party

Sixty-five children and children-at-heart attended the 8th Annual Family Christmas Party hosted by the Heartland Down Syndrome Association on Saturday, December 6. Families enjoyed sandwiches, pizza, and lots of delicious treats shared by the families. Santa stopped by to visit with the children, and each child had the chance to sit on Santa's lap and receive a gift.
