First Christmas Eve


Christmas 2003: First Christmas
We went to Grandma Young's on Christmas Eve and the Ward clan came to our house Christmas Day. You spent most of the day doing the usual: sleeping, eating, and swinging. I was so thankful for having my sweet babies that year. It made Christmas that much more special.

Christmas 2004: Second Christmas
I was afraid to put up the Christmas Tree for fear that you would bring it down upon yourselves, but you actually were good about leaving the tree alone. I think we made it through the season with only one bulb being broke. We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma Young's and Christmas Day at our house. Some of your favorite gifts: Inflatable jumper from santa; Dancing Elmo from Papa & Granny and flash lights from Mommy & Daddy.
Christmas 2005: Third Christmas
I was actually surpirsed at how much you loved Christmas this year. You loved looking at lights. You didn't really know what was ahead, but once you started opening presents you certainly wanted more!!! I think you actually enjoyed the unwrapping more than the gift itself.

On Christmas Eve morning, Delaney woke up with a terrible runny nose and actually ran a low grade fever that day. Nana, Mimi, Unlce Patrick & Aunt Julie came over early and we had a nice brunch. Uncle Patrick and Aunt Julie bought you a small basketball goal which was a big hit, and a yellow weedeater that Jaxon adored and still does. That evening we began a new tradition of the Young family coming to our house on Christmas Eve. You enjoyed the evening by playing on a inflatable punching bag from DeAyn. You decided it would be funny if you all tried to sit on it and you kept falling off.

On Christmas Day, we had a wonderful christmas morning. Santa brought Delaney a baby doll and the boys Thomas trains. That was probably one of your favorite gifts that year. Delaney also received her first purse which she insisted on carrying with her everywhere for the next two months. Christmas was on a Sunday so we went to church. We arrived a little late because it was difficult getting you to leave your gifts. That evening, Papa, Granny, Aunts, Uncles and cousins came over for our final Christmas. You received a huge inflatable jumper from Uncle Rusty and Aunt Sheryl.
