Christmas of 1970

My parents (George and Lu Younge) came out to spend the Christmas of 1970 with us. This is the visit that they got to see our new baby girl for the first time. Mom got so tickled at the baby as she was trying to feed her some carrots. Mom would put it in and Laura would spit most of it out. Mom would scrape it up off of her chin and put it in again, and out some more would come. Each time though, some did stay in and go down. Another one that mom thought was funny was when she went to change her messy diaper. As she was taking it off, Laura squinched up her face and said "kxxxxxxxx"! It is a hard word to spell, but it was the sound I always made when changing her messy diaper. This goes to show you how smart she was, already talking when she was only 5 months old. Mom and dad were both amazed that their whole visit they did not hear her cry even once. She was such a happy and contented little baby and all her needs were met to her satisfaction. lol

They really had fun with Danny because he was at such a fun age. Mom played games with him, and of course Danny showed off the best he could. On Sunday we were getting ready to go to church and Danny went out and asked his grandpa if he was going "dressy or sporty". Dad chuckled and then said "why don't we just go sporty?" This meant they didn't have to wear a tie.

Danny also had to show his grandparents that he knew all about Jesus and the nativity set. He was pointing to each character and telling them who they all were. This is Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the shepards and these are the three wise guys!!
