Greetings!MERRY CHRISTMAS!
What a special time of year! We have had a wonderful week of family and friend gatherings. It has been so special to see everyone!
The entire family visited the NICU with plates of cookies and big smiles before Christmas. Last year, only Dan and Jonas could make it (Elsa and Mari were at one of countless doctors' appointments) to visit with the NICU staff. This year was the first time back for the whole family and it was wonderful to see so many nurses, doctors, and other staff members that took great care of Elsa and Jonas. Two of the nurses that were present when Elsa and Jonas were born and stabilized them for their ambulance ride to Tacoma were there and they clearly could remember the time and day the two kids were born. Jonas and Elsa gave them both high fives.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were time for family celebrations, presents, prayers, and lots of laughing. Elsa and Jonas really got the hang of opening packages although Elsa liked to rip of 1 inch squares of paper which dramatically increased the time it took to open presents.
