Playing with my new toy! :)

First of all, ROLL TIDE!! Last night, we won our 13th National Championship title. I think Delaney is a good luck charm. So today (due to the snowy, cold weather) I am able to get in a few extra minutes before school starts to TRY and upload some videos from Christmas. We received a Flip Video camera for Christmas from Eric's Mom (THANK YOU!!) and I REALLY want to try it out.

Ringin' in the New Year!!

Delaney has had the BEST Christmas ever!! (Especially since it's her first :). Along with all the parties with family...

...she had a ball opening her presents. I will try to name most of the items she received as gifts.

Aunt Lori Beth-a soft horse shaped book to read at night.

Aunt Mary Beth and Kenny-the coolest DVD that says her name in the songs. SOOO neat!!

Cousin Terri Lynn-adorable outfit from Baby Gap. :) My lil' fashionista.

Aunt KK and Uncle Pete-a plush, colorful ball. She loves to play "baseball" with her Daddy.

Memaw-stuffed animal, cute outfits, etc.

From ALL the grandparents there is SOO muchto name, so I'll only put down the two biggies: She received a beautiful baby bracelet and an awesome wagon. We will be stylin' the summer. :)

Since she received so much from all the loving family members, Santa didn't have too much work to do. He did bring her an elmo, whom she LOVES. And he also brought her her first car. I like the price of the first one compared to what it will be when she's 16. :)
Here are some pics from all of that:

We took a lot of pics at Terri Lynn's house...

Memaw's house...

And of her driving her new car... She loves her Memaw, too...

After it was ALL over, this is how we felt...

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVERYONE!!!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!!

I'm sorry it has been awhile since I have last blogged. My computer is super slow. Here re some updates...

Delaney's eye surgery went well. Her eye looks great now! I have to say Eric was very busy being a supportive husband that day. Eric and I both decided, after being in a children's hospital and seeing all the babies that were there, we really are so lucky and truly blessed to have a healthy, happy baby like Delaney. The surgery was only about 25 minutes. Nana (Eric's mom) was also there to help in case of a meltdown...by me. :) We arrived at 5:15 in the morning, and Nana was already waiting, with coffee! Yay! She was wonderful and waited patiently until the end. We didn't really know what to expect. First, they explained how she would be put to sleep, how the procedure would go, they drew a black #14 over her eye, took her back, and then we waited. When she came back to us in the recovery room, she was tired, but a real trooper. We ended up taking a long nap at home, and then heading back out for a little day o' fun (Eric calls it). It all went fine, but I don't want to do it again, any time soon.

On a fun note, we have visited two different Santas already. She's not really into the bearded look, but she took some cute pictures through her distress. Aunt Lori Beth says that is a sign of a future actress. :) Or maybe just a drama queen. She is also loving all the Christmas lights. At home, we have put up a Rudolph, glowing nose and all, and she can't keep her eyes off of him. She is in love.

Halloween Fun

Delaney had a blast dressing up for Halloween. On October 25th, we went over to Memaw's house to celebrate all the October birthdays (Eric, K.K., and I). This was a great opportunity to show off her little ladybug costume. She was the cutest bug we had ever seen!! On the day of Halloween, we went to Hueytown to show off her other costume...a carrot. I really didn't have a reason for the carrot costume, except that it was bought before I had her, and it was on sale. ;) For her first Halloween, Delaney also got a ceramic pumpkin from her Nana Jean that had her name in the mouth of it. Super cute! Upcoming events include Homestead Hollow and her eye appointment. Unfortunately, this eye appointment will be a consultation for a much needed, yet dreaded, eye surgery.
