Our kids had a blast at our family Christmas parties. We had the Baker party on Friday the 18th and celebrated Kent's Birthday as well. We had dinner and opened presents and the kids really thought it was Christmas...they had so much fun. Drew got a CD player and a the chipmuncks cd from grandma and grandpa...she loved it. Dane got a remote controlled 4 wheeler and he thought it was so cool. Luke got a ride on step 2 motorcylce. He doesn't have to pedal he just pushes it. I am going to include a video of him opening and riding it because he is so cute at this age.

On Saturday afternoon we had the Hill family party at Rick's house which worked out great since we stayed in Mendon. We had a great dinner and watched old family videos of ourselves from years ago. Let me tell you it was a hoot and we were not pleased with our 80's hair do's and our glasses that came down past our nostrils. Oh, let me tell you it was hidious. We had fun laughing at each other all night.

Happy Birthday Daddy..The Big 42!!

The kids smiling and posing for the camera....at least now Luke will give me a big grin and look right at the camera. He is so darn cute at 2 years old.

It was December 16th and with craziness of the season we celebrated Ken't Birthday! Kent and I just spoke in church the Sunday before his birthday and so we did not get a chance to have some fun on the weekend. For Kent's Birthday we had a nice dinner and then opened presents and waited until Friday night at the Baker family Christmas party to have cake and ice cream. Kent is sad that he is 42 and has a 2 year old. No worries...Luke still loves you no matter how old you are honey and so do I!! The kids began dancing to Christmas music on his Birthday after he opened his presents and they had a blast doing it. Here is the video of them going crazy!!!

We spent the day at The Trujillo's house for Thanksgiving. Everyone was with us at Tracey's house except for Steph and Rod's family and Rick's family came over later in the evening for a poop party (pig out on pie). We all had a great time visiting and enjoying each others company. The cousins had fun playing together and doing crafts. The dinner was scrumptious and we had tons to feast on. We spent the evening mapping out our shopping adventure. We didn't leave til 9 pm and then I was in a panic to get the kids home to bed so that I could begin our black Friday shopping adventure. Melanie stayed at my place and then we went out at 10:30 pm and didn't finish untl the next morning at 9:30 AM. We met up with Tracey and Jayde and some others as well. We had a blast and enjoyed every bit of the fun. We wish our friends and family a Happy Thangiving!

Luke Loves To Play Ball and Catch With Da-ee!!

This is a short video of Luke playing with Da-ee before bedtime. He can't seem to get enough of playing ball and catch.

Lets Play Ball Da-ee!!

Luke loves to play ball with Da-ee!
Since Luke doesn't say many words he pushes Da-ee over to the floor to play ball any chance he gets.

Luke catching the baseball.

Catching the baseball over and over

Uh-oh he dropped the baseball!

Can't decide which ball to play with...Mom says the BYU football. Dad says...Do we have to use that ball? Luke will just have to decide.

Our Ward Halloween Party!!

Halloween has finally arrived, Yeah...lots of hype and parties to attend. The kids are gald to trick or treat. They had a great October wearing their costumes to many fall festivals, and our ward party. Halloween night turned out to be a great night...the weather was mild and it wasn't too cold. The kids had lots of fun with their cousins. Luke liked trick or treating...he was so cute and thought he would eat his candy at each door instead of putting in his bucket. Well for me I am glad we are finished for another year. It was fun but now I am ready for Thanksgiving!!
