Claire's First Visit with Santa

Last Thursday, our nurse asked if we were coming to the NICU Christmas Party. Christmas Party? I had no idea, despite the signs hanging around, that there was one. Apparently, Ari and I are oblivious to everything except Claire when we are at the hospital. I had just received Claire's preemie Christmas outfit in the mail the day before so I thought I would see if she could where it to meet Santa. Now I know that the babies have to be 1500 grams and in an open crib to wear clothes, but I thought there would surely be no harm in dressing her for five minutes for Santa! The first nurse I asked said, "No problem." She was not Claire's nurse for the party though, so we would have to ask again. When we arrived for the party, one of the more strict nurses said she could only wear her hat... boo, I didn't like that answer. Then Claire's nurse came over and told us that she could absolutely put her outfit on for a minute. Yeah!! Our girl is the over-achiever and rebel of the NICU, you go Claire. Now you tell me, aren't these pictures worth it?!
