Today is National Bird Day!
We had fun playing name that bird trivia and got creative with button bird crafts!
Did you know pelican birds have no teeth, swallow their food whole and have 2 stomachs?

We tried a new and different type of activity today at Bickford Peoria, My Favorite Holiday Item Show and Tell.
Residents were asked to bring their favorite holiday item and share with the group why its special to them. We enjoyed hearing all the stories and reminiscing about holiday traditions!

We've had quite a busy week at Bickford Peoria! On Wednesday, Richard Jackson performed holiday songs for us which was a great time!
Today, we went on a lunch outing to Chili's and then stopped by Luthy Botanical Gardens to check out the Poinsettia Show!
