Christmas Day 2006

Santa's been here!

"

This morning Jaxon crawled into bed with us at 5:30 a.m. He said his toe hurt and he needed to sleep with his mommy which was unusual. Mommy didn't fall back to sleep but Jaxon finally drifted off from 7:00 to 7:30. At 7:30 Jaxon and I went and woke up Baylor and then while I was changing Baylor, Jaxon snuck into the living room for a peek. He quickly went into Delaney's room where Daddy was trying to wake her up. He announced that Santa had brought presents and she quickly ran into the living room. I was chasing behind you guys trying to get it on video. At first you were almost speechless. It was if you didn't know what to say. You emptied your stockings and then we started opening your Santa gifts: drums, Diego house, & Dora cash register. You also opened your gifts from mommy and daddy. Delaney received triplet baby dolls, and the boys received Diego belts. Mommy and Daddy also bought you a CD player and bible songs cd. You each took note that Santa ate the cookies and the reindeer food was gone.

Uncle Patrick, Aunt Julie, Nana, and Mimi came over for a mid-morning breakfast. You were eager to open more gifts. You received many gifts and our house looked like a tornado went through it. I'm still now sure what we are going to do with everything.

We had a good time with Granny, Papa and all your uncles, aunts, and cousins. You received more presents including coats from Granny and Papa. Baylor who had been cranky for the past several days seemed to find his "Baylor" spirit this evening. All of you were very wound up tonight. It was a little tough getting each of you to calm down.

I would say you had a wonderful and very blessed Christmas. I know that I have loved watching you experience and enjoy this Christmas.
