Happy national bacon day! To mark the day, we got a little creative in the kitchen with a BLT pasta salad.
Not gonna lie… there were a few skeptical looks at first 👀 but after the first bite, it was all smiles and empty plates!

Turns out bacon really does make everything better. 🥓

Just wanted to share a sweet little moment from our day 🎄
A few of our residents got together to make homemade ornaments for their loved ones. We shaved down different colors of crayons, made funnels to fill the ornaments, and then melted them with a hair dryer.

Super fun, super easy, and they turned out absolutely beautiful!
