Giggles are the Best of All

Last Friday night, we had a virtual Teen Tastic and Fantastic Friends program as the COVID numbers kept us out of the playhouse. We had a blast!

Valentine card-making kits were sent out and a group of friends all got online and worked at home while chatting and sharing their creations. The amount of giggling coming out of my speakers made my heart melt. So much giggling!

Every time I finished a card, I put on the label of one of the other participants and held it up to the camera so they could look and see who’s card I had finished and they would each get excited about knowing that they were getting mail soon.

At one point, we decided to have a sing-a-long and brought up a karaoke version of Let It Go on my screen and shared it with the group.  Loud voices in houses across the Quad Cities were all singing along, more giggling started, especially when my dog, Tinkerbelle (seen in photo), decided to start howling along.

So much fun was had all night and many were sad to sign off when it was over.

I can’t wait to see these happy faces in person again.
