@MichelleObama
! She joined Santa to read “The Night Before Christmas” and held a special Q&A. Questions included: “What’s your favorite thing to eat?” and “How many pushups can you do?”
Our friend
@DangeRussWilson
stopped by yesterday to help put some smiles on our patients' faces. He said we could go see him at work next week. Who's coming?
@Broncos
#BroncosCountry
And we’ll remember the time he spent with junior reporters like Chase, who reported back: “Every time I asked him a question, he would ask me the same one back. It made me feel really good that he wanted to know more about me, too.”
