Brett would like you to meet

some of his Playhouse friends….. They are so AWESOME!!

Kenzie’s favorite program is LMNOP!

Kenzie loves to play with dolls❤️.

Kenzie’s favorite food is popcorn (I like popcorn too, especially when watching a movie!). Kenzie’s first name is Makenzie, but everyone has always called her Kenzie😀. Kenzie likes so many things about GiGi’s. She loves meeting friends who have Down Syndrome, and her mommy likes to be able to talk to others who are going through some of the same things. Kenzie also loves the volunteers, they are so loving and patient with her. (I agree Kenzie💕).

Ashley’s favorite program at GiGi’s is Rock Band (I really like Rock Band too, it’s so fun). Ashley loves to sing and dance💕.

Ashley’s favorite food is Orange Chicken from Panda Express. She gets it every Wednesday after Rock Band😀. What Ashley likes the most about GiGi’s is the friends she has😀.

Edward’s favorite program at GiGi’s is LMNOP! His absolute favorite toys are cars and school busses 😀. Edward loves all food (that’s a great answer!).

Moogoo is Edward’s nickname❤️. Edward’s favorite thing about GiGi’s is playing with his friends (and I am sure they love to play with you too😀).

Ave’s favorite GiGi program is Cooking Class! She hopes to go again soon😀.

Ave’s favorite hobby is to play outside with her frisbee and have her bubble machine going at the same time❤️. Her favorite foods are pizza and chocolate cake (I think those are yummy choices Ave)! Ave is really her nickname. Her full name is Ada Violet E. Cassidy. Ada and Violet her great-grandmother’s names❤️. Ave loves GiGi’s because she always has fun when she goes, she makes new friends! Ave loves to dance whenever they play music! ( I like to dance too😀).
