We went on Wednesday to the Nationwide Children's Hospital Hospice Care Center and made our birthday delivery. We asked Olive's 1st Birthday guests to bring a gift to donate to children who may be celebrating their last birthday instead of giving to Olive who celebrated her 1st of many. We really want a way to teach our children about service and the blessings received when we give to others so this is our new birthday tradition. As Olive gets older, we will allow her to choose her most favorite gift to keep then we will go as a family to give our birthday donation to children in need. This is a pic of everything we were able to donate.
I'm very sad that AGAIN I forgot my camera. We really wanted a picture with the director of the program who accepted our donations...but the camera did not join us on our trip (I told you I have been awful lately!). We had a wonderful time talking to the program director and they were so appreciative. I know Olive had no idea what we were doing, but if when she is older, she can feel even a little of what Jason and I felt as we left the Hospice center, I know she will feel the desire to serve more and a taste of what our Father in Heaven wants us to feel towards all his children. It was an amazing experience for our family!
