Sit...Stay...PLAY: lots to be thankful for
We know six good boys and girls that we are thankful for every day here at Cook Children's! |

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families! As you reflect on all the things about which you are thankful perhaps you could also reflect on how others around you see these same things. In this season of thankfulness, I am grateful for you and the unique gifts you offer that make up our whole. We are richer, fuller, deeper, and wider because we all are here together. We hope you all have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend! |

Happy Hanukkah! We wish you a year of light and love! Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-night Jewish holiday that begins this Sunday, Nov. 28. It is celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods. At such celebrations, Hanukkah songs are sung and traditional games, such as dreidel, are played. The most familiar Hanukkah foods are the European (Ashkenazi) potato pancakes, or latkes, and the Israeli favorite, jelly donuts, or sufganiyot. |
