Our first night in Baker, we all bundled up and went to see Christmas lights. We went to what we grew up calling the "grinch house" because of the big cutout of the grinch they had on their roof. The man who lives there has dozens of painted wooden characters in his yard at Christmas time, and you can walk through to look at them.
Sarah got to meet Clifford. It was an exciting moment.
My grandpa and his new wife, Beverly, were in town to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday and Christmas. We were excited to see them and celebrate with them.
Lighting 80 birthday candles all at once is a little bit intense. It was pretty much a torch by the time we were done.
Since we were all headed different directions for Christmas day, our family had Christmas on Sunday. Anne's reaction when she opened the princess dress I made her was "It's so beautiful!". That makes an aunt feel good.
Sarah thought opening presents was pretty fun, especially pulling things out of her stocking.
Her favorite present was the baby doll Grandma bought her. She loved it instantly and has been carrying it around everywhere and giving it snuggles. It is adorable.
All dressed up for Christmas Sunday.
I love my little Christmas baby! However, taking pictures of this little whirlwind was a little tricky. These are the ones that turned out the least blurry.
Sarah found a peppermint patty and managed to unwrap it and eat the whole thing. (Except for the part smeared all over her face and hands, that is.) She was pretty delighted with herself.
Trying to take a selfie?
Kelson and Dad went out to my grandpa's house to cut down dead trees and shoot guns. It was a very manly day.
It was fun having some time with my family to do Christmasy things even though we didn't actually get to spend Christmas with them this year. This was just the beginning of our holiday adventure. More to come!
