Birthday Fun!

We celebrated James' birthday on Saturday and had a blast! Instead of gifts, we asked everyone to bring items for the NICU at Le Bonheur. I had contacted Becky up at Le Bonheur a few weeks ago and she let me know that they needed onesies, preemie outfits, and toiletries for the parents who stay over with their babies. We brought an amazing collection of items to Le Bonheur today and we had a great time. It was so neat to see all of James' old Le Bonheur buddies who took such amazing care of him. He was presented with a special t-shirt and a certificate thanking him for being a young philanthropist. Thank you so much to everyone who donated items for the NICU--they were very much appreciated!!!! Below are some pictures of our hospital visit today, Valentine's Day in St. Louis, and James' birthday party.
