The Children’s Inn at NIH filled Valentine’s Day with fun and love.
The day started with deliveries of candy grams, a cookie decorating kit and handwritten Valentine’s Day cards to each resident.
Next up was a celebration of inn therapy dog Zilly’s birthday. Residents gathered in the lobby to wish the Australian Labradoodle a happy birthday and enjoy cupcakes with her. Zilly joined the inn staff in 2015.
In the afternoon, a special gathering to mark the day was held in the Bistro, which was also the site of the monthly VisArts program activity.
In the red-, pink- and heart-festooned café, residents enjoyed more treats from the candy bar while designing glass hearts and creating other Valentine-themed artwork.
A candlelight dinner ended a day devoted to love (and love of sweets!).
