Introducing Ariana Rose Brandenburg

Once we got settled in our room at the hospital, we called Elise to see if she wanted to come and meet her new baby sister. She was eager to come to the hospital - and my parents said that she was just giddy on the ride to see us. On Friday night as they were awaiting news, Elise found an extra chocolate Easter bunny and asked if she could have it - and my mom said that once the baby was born, she could eat the bunny. When she woke up Saturday, she got the news that her new baby sister was born and her first response was, "Can I eat the chocolate bunny?" The chocolate bunny got to come along to the hospital, and she enjoyed it with us there.
