A Christmas Gift

After all that has happened, we had come to terms with the idea that we wouldn't have christmas all together as a family... Until Santa wrote to Emily and Brayden on Christmas Morning that he talked to the nurses and Dr's at the hospital and they agreed to let them come to the hospital to visit their baby sister, but only for a little while and they had bring her stocking with them.
It was the best Christmas present in the world. The kids were so excited and got to hold and kiss their baby sister for the first time. We later asked Emily what her favorite part of christmas was and she replied with "That we got to spend Christmas as a family with baby Erica"
Erica got many gift's from everyone. She was very spoiled. She even got 2 stuffed animals from previous NICU parents and patients and a knitted hat from a local elementary student named Paige.
Thanks everyone!
