Flashback Friday: NICU Graduation Celebration

Such goofs - Brina and Karliec

Ready for the NICU Graduation Celebration

Today’s Flashback Friday goes back to September 2005 when the girls went to their NICU Graduation Celebration.  It is hard to believe they are now 7 months old.  We are thankful for all the doctors and nurses that helped our family during the time when the girls were staying in the NICU.  They took good care of our babies and we learned a lot from them during their stay.  It was a great event to celebrate.  Glad the girls were still growing and healthy.

Flashback Friday - Brina and Karlie looking pretty in their outfits from Aunt Mary, Uncle Rick and Laurelc

Relaxing while we pack up the diaper bag and get everything ready to head out.  The super cute dresses are from my Aunt Mary Ann, Uncle Rick, and cousins Renelle & Laurel in Colorado!  Thanks guys, they are adorable!

Karlie getting her face painted at the NICU Graduate Partyc

 Karlie’s 1st Face Painting experience.  She was not too sure about a stranger touching and putting stuff on her face even though the rest of us were right there.

Karlie unsure about this whole face painting experiencec

Karlie made it through the face painting, but was not happy with us at the end.  She was not a big fan of it.  Her legs were kicking, arms waving, and was about to burst into tears to let us know that she was not impressed with this whole face painting adventure.  A little TLC and snuggle calmed her down quickly and she was fine for the rest of the event.

 Brina was relaxed and just let her paint her face.  She figured Daddy was there it must be okay.

Karlie is all smiles now.  She doesn’t even remember that her face is painted with a smiley face.

Brina was constantly sucking on her dress today, maybe a different texture, who knowsc

For some reason Brina loved chewing on this dress.  Must of tasted good or had an appealing texture.

Brina talking and happy even though her pink heart is completely smeared all over her face from her fun NICU celebration adventure earlier that day!

Karlie happy and smilingc

 Karlie is glad to be back home again.  Her smiley face stayed on for several hours after we arrived back home.

Karlie and Brina having fun with their new toys from the NICU Party-they actually won one of the door prizesc

Karlie and Brina are very lucky girls.  During the NICU Graduation Celebration they won a door prize for some toy blocks and shapes.  They are playing with their new toys now.   They have no clue they won anything, but were happy to play with the new toys.  So exciting!!!
