Christmas Eve 2006

Baking cookies for Santa

Great Grandchildren minus Baylor


Today, we went to church and this afternoon we baked cookies for Santa. This evening, the Young's minus Uncle Patrick (working) and Aunt Julie came over to our house. Baylor did ask, "where is Patrick?" so he was missed.

When wewwere ready to open presents Delaney was sure she was getting a Dora Kitchen and Baylor even started crying about his Diego house. I had to remind each of you that you had asked Santa for those gifts and Santa was coming later so you wouldn't be disappointed. Baylor was a little cranky but soon got into the action of opening gifts. Jaxon is the speed demon of unwrapping gifts.

All of the great grandchildren received Dominoes from Grandma and Grandpa which were very popular. Jaxon and Baylor also got Buzz Lightyear walkie talkies and Delaney got a swing for her baby doll. You also received some new games and pajamas.

Delaney made an early discovery under her pillow! Santa's elves delivered new pajamas to wear on Christmas Day. She was quite amazed that a present ended up in her room. The boys went to search their room to see if the elves had left them anything. They looked under the bed and around but Delaney finally helped them find their presents under their pillow (matching monkey pajamas). Jaxon was sure throughout the evening that at any moment Santa's elves could deliver a present again under his pillow.

We left the reindeer some hay and cookies for Santa. Delaney was off to bed quickly because Santa was coming but it took Jaxon a little longer to fall asleep because he kept thinking something might be under his pillow.
