Unlike the previous two entries about the fun times we have at Valley Children's Hospital, I decided that this installment would be about activities I was NOT actively responsible for. So, no Jelly Belly "cocktail parties" or strange "Moon Cheese" samplings. Instead these are events that just happened that were memorable or just random pictures. Let's take a look:
UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATERS:
One of my co-workers, Melaney, had the (not so) brilliant idea of having an Ugly Christmas Sweater Day during the holidays. I was coerced into doing it as well. However, I thought we had to MAKE our own tacky sweater. I ran out to a thrift store, bought a cheap, used sweater vest. Then I bought some decorations and some hot glue and went to work. Voila! My contribution can be seen below...next to Melaney in her store-purchased sweater. Ha! Mandy, further below, also made her own sweater, too.

CHARACTER VISITS:
Once in a blue moon, we get invaded...by people in costume! EEEK!
 |
| Star Wars and comic superheroes meet Jen and Janae. Who will win? |
 |
| Chewbacca (!?!) and me. |
CHRISTMAS:
I'm not sure when this was. 2014? 2015? Rehab always gets into the holiday spirit. It's fun for the patients...and for US.

THANKSGIVING:
As a relatively new nurse, I've worked all of the holidays pretty much (except for Thanksgiving 2015, when i was out after having knee surgery). This was Thanksgiving 2014 and it was one of the BEST Thanksgivings ever. I had to work and all of my family lives in Washington state now. Why not work? i had nothing better to do. The Rehab team pulled together and created a great little Thanksgiving feast. I was ever so happy to have celebrated it with my new rehab "family".
