Merry Christmas From The Baker's

We thought since we are far away from our extended family on Christmas we would send you a video message to you. Happy Holidays. Love-Kent, Lori , Drew, Dane & Luke

Merry Christmas Family & Friends!

Today is Christmas morning and we want to say hello and send our holiday greetings to each of you. We hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas and that Santa got you everything you wanted and deserved. One thing for sure, we are all having a white Christmas with the snow falling outside. Drew and Dane got snow inner tubes. I am sure they will want to try them out later.

Drew, Dane & Luke were so excited when they saw what Santa brought for them. They could hardly contain themselves in taking turns opening presents from Santa, as well as gifts from Mom and Dad.

Church Christmas Party with Santa Claus-2008

Drew, Dane and Luke were so excited to visit Santa Clause. Drew has always been a little hesitant about sitting on Santa's lap in years past but this year she said she was going to do it. She did it...Yeah Drew. We were was so proud of her for going right up and telling Santa her wish list for Christmas this year!

As for Dane, well he is never shy and can hardly wait to tell Santa his wish list. Luke wasn't sure about Santa, at one point he almost started to cry and then he saw his mommy smiling at him and decided he was okay. Drew came home from the Church Christmas party that morning and said this was her best day ever...she is so excited about Christmas.

Our Reflections Winner!!

Drew is in first grade and this year she entered the Reflections Contest at her elementary school. She submitted a short story in the area of Literature titled:

"HOW PUMPKINS GROW"

Pumpkins are orange.

Thay have seeds and thay have stems.

Thay grow on the ground with water and dirt.

Thay start out green and in the fall thay turn orange.

Thay are fun to carve.

My favrit treat is pumpkin spics cake.

The end

Drew was chosen as a winner on November 24, 2008. She was so excited to hear that she was a winner. Drew kept saying "I can't believe I won...Mom"! She was honored with a Medal in Literature and a composition notebook with pencils to continue her, "Composition Writing". Drew will now compete at the next level on January 8th, 2009. We are so proud of her and wish her luck in the next round"

Luke Is Our Walking Energizer Bunny!!

On November 16th Luke was finally Walking Full Speed Ahead and Not Looking Back. Luke is almost 15 months. Ever since he has figured out the walking thing...now we have to keep up with him. He is a busy bee and loves to carry all kinds of toys while he walks around. He is tons of fune and so darn cute. He's growing way to fast.
(FYI- I sound like a dork on this video so just ignore myself:Lori..hee, hee!)

Happy Thanksgiving From The Baker Family 2008

We are heading up to Mendon to spend the Holiday weekend with Kent's family. Drew, Dane, and Luke are so excited to go to Grandma and Grandpa's for "The Big Turkey Dinner". We want to wish all of you a great Thanksgiving. We are thankful for this time year when we can reflect on the many blessings we receive each day. We are grateful to be a part of your lives. Happy Harvest and Gobble Til You Wobble!!

We Love you all, The Baker Family

Our Little Toe Head!

This Summer Luke's hair turned blonde to our Suprise. Considering how RED Luke's hair was when he was born. Although when his hair grows out after a haircut it still has a hint of red. Now we will have to wait and see what color of hair he will have as he gets older. We never expected to have a Toe Head and a Blue Eyed Boy. (Thanks to Kent's blue eyes)
