We had our annual mall day last week! What's mall day you ask? The first week in December we close the office for a whole day, we have a team building day Christmas shopping together. It's this Christmas season we are especially thankful for every single team member working hard every day. Of course we are also thankful for every single patient who entrusts us with their dental needs.

As you can see, we had our photo taken with Santa. We had fun during the photo...Santa even said if he lived in Lake City he would come to our office for his dental work. Lots to be thankful for!

In the US, there's so many food & drink products to choose from. Probably more than anywhere else in the world. And boy, they taste good, right??  We all have a sweet treat now and then, no worries.

Boy did we attend a cool seminar today! A group of around 300 people from dental offices all around Minnesota gathered at  the Embassy Suites in Bloomington. The seminar was titled "Are We Having Fun, Yet?" by Bruce Christopher. Bruce is a Minnesota native who is part psychologist and part comedian. Quite an inspirational speaker, he inspires folks by talking about attitude. He told hilarious stories about optimism vs pessimism, and how failures are the stepping stones to success. Our entire staff of 14 people were in attendance, and there wasn't one of us who didn't enjoy themselves! If you ever get a chance to see Bruce, we highly recommended ...
