Christmas 2009

So, finally I'm getting around to a post on Christmas. Wow!!! Life has been busy and I don't see it slowing down. The end of the year and the new year brought a fun time with family and friends, a renovated bathroom, and living and coping with the renovation(pics to come soon). With all that, we had a wonderful Christmas and are so thankful that we got to spend time with the ones we love. Baker loved talking about Santa and just last night he said to me, "Mama, I don't want to be naughty. I want Santa to hold me." And in that same conversation I was sure to tell him that Santa was watching him. I'm keeping the Santa magnet on the fridge all year long as a reminder!

Trinity Children's Christmas Eve Program. Baker got to be a cow in the manger.

Mooo!!! He was so excited!

This was a big highlight of for all of us. What an awesome way to see the Christmas story! After the Children's program we were able to make it to Come and Go communion where Baker sang Away in a Manger(really loud) as we approached the alter in a very quiet sanctuary where people were praying silently. There was a manger with Baby Jesus behind the alter. Talk about a "God Moment".

Christmas Eve hugs for Chief.

He is getting so big!

Santa really brought the Yellow Bow and Arrow! What a proud little boy. He had to be really good all year long for that.

Christmas at Nana and Granddaddy's. "Let's open these presents!"Granddaddy made Baker a Thomas the Train toy box! It's awesome!

Christmas night at Grandmama's and PawPaw's. What a fun day!!!

Apey was so sweet to give Baker a horsey hippity hop so he could be a REAL cowboy!

A new swing set from Grandmama and PawPaw! Yeah, come on Spring weather!
