NICU harvest party

Every year, the NICU puts on a harvest party for all its former  patients to come back and see the nurses who helped them. Since we had babies in the NICU (for 5 LONG weeks) it was nice to go back and see some familiar faces in a better environment. It brought back so many memories of how hard it was when the babies were so little, but the nurses loved seeing how big they have gotten.

It was for all family members and kids were to dress up. Bailey and Nick had a blast playing games, eating treats, doing crafts and decorating cookies. The babies were pretty good and were probably just wondering who the strange, yet oddly familiar people were who kept holding them and passing them around :)




They took family pictures there too! Babies went as skeletons, Bailey as Anna from Frozen and Nick is a cowboy ...complete with Grandpa Parsons cowboy hat.
