Crafts with the kids

The week of Christmas my family wanted to do something to give back to the children's hospital that Lee spent 8 months of his life at last year. Lee unfortunatly had to work, but my mom, sister and I went to do arts and crafts with the kids. We had made many ahead of time to give to the children that couldn't go out of their room, and then allowed others to come to the craft room to make them with us. They enjoyed it so much and we enjoyed helping and watching even more! When they finished we gave them a candy cane to put inside and a coloring book with a Christmas card from my family in it. Everyone was so appreciative and loved us being there. Definitly next time I am here, I want to volunteer there and my family hopes to go back again soon.

Setting up before everyone came...we weren't allowed to take pictures while the kids were in the room :( They were precious though!

Getting ready :)

We all wore our "Live Strong" shirts, hoping to be an inspiration to the families in the hospital fighting cancer just like our brother...

This is Vivian, Lee's favorite Child Life worker who helped my family so much while he was there. She was the one who helped organize for us to come also.

After we were done, we walked on both sides of oncology to see the nurses and doctors. They were so excited to see us and of course only wanted to see Lee! Two of the male nurses said they had just been talking about Lee that morning, saying that there had not been as many Hooters girls, or pro cheerleaders there because Lee was gone!!
