Addison Gillin, 1, of Temple, held by mom Colleen Gillin, points at Santa’s beard (it’s real) at the Ronald McDonald House annual gala. The Ronald McDonald House gives parents a place to stay while their children are in the hospital. The gala is a way to show people how they can give to the agency. There were also Ronald McDonald games for the chilldren and the house’s lights were turned on for the season. (Mitch Green/Telegram)
