Merry Christmas 2009

We are all very excited for Christmas this year! We decided to get a Wii for the Wii Fit for Dan and Patti, but the kids play more than us of course. It's amazing how well a four year old can play on video games. We finally upgraded our 19 inch television that we have had since we got married. I told Dan it had to die before we would replace it. We went for the 46 inch LCD flat screen, big difference! We also have a Blu Ray Player with a sound system. This was our large family Christmas gifts that got set up early.

Trip to the Grocery Store
Luke trying to figure out what was going on. He has had very little stroller rides with how cold it has been. It wasn't too bad outside, so we all went for a walk down to the grocery store just a couple of blocks away. This was the quietest he has been all day while he was awake. But he wanted to know what was going on. He did not go to sleep until we were almost home.

Back to School

Back to School
It's nice to have school back in session! This is Landon's first day riding the bus! He goes to a second preschool to help with his speech. They meet once a week for two hours. Landon likes that they meet at the same school that Lydia attends (there are five elementary schools in our district). Lydia was very excited to start school back too.

Luke after his 6 month shots. He is growing fast and is a joy to have in our family.

Landon enjoys playing cowboy and loves his new guitar from his 5th birthday and his gun and holster set from Christmas, thanks Kyle!

Forget the carrot on the snowman's nose, I need a snack!

Great Grandpa Baker, Luke, Landon, Lydia, Levi, Dan We visited him while in Spokane after Wendy and Tim's wedding. It was nice to see him and Grandma Helen again. Of course the kids love to see their dog too. Luke sat on Great Grandpa Baker's lap for a long time too, almost the whole visit. Then Aunt Holly was very happy to take him!

Cookies for Santa

Cookies for Santa
One of the kids favorite Christmas traditions, making cookies for Santa! Landon's was the cookie with the most candy on it. Levi just likes a little bit of frosting, and Lydia decorated the face on the gingerbread man.

It's a tradition to open our exchange gifts from the cousin's on Christmas Eve. Luke had more fun with the tissue paper than the gift! Good job Katrina!

Lydia received a gift from her 2nd cousin, Aiden

Levi was excited to have two wrapped gifts, thanks Uncle Jeff

Landon was more than ready to open his gift from his cousin Kyle.
