Spina Bifida Holiday Party

Today we attended the Spina Bifida of Colorado Association Holiday party. It was so nice for us to meet other families who have already traveled this journey before us. It was a small dose of reality to see that yes, these kids have medical problems, some of them use walkers, some of them use crutches, and some are even in wheelchairs, but behind all that they are just kids. Just as Evan is just a sweet baby boy. I know that he will be able to someday accomplish whatever he wants. Not having your legs work doesn't mean that you can't be a doctor, or a lawyer, or...whatever he dreams to be. Lauren made many new friends and had a great time decorating cookies and making crafts. Best of all, Santa showed up with gifts for all the kids.
