Where the heck


has the time gone!!!???

I can not believe that the month of December is almost gone. And I wont be sad when it is. Dont get me wrong I love the month of December, but it is so busy that its just hard to enjoy it cause it goes so fast! So what has the Baker family been up to? Well let me tell you,
The weekend of the 6th and 7th...That was the weekend we were sick, so pretty much just sat our butts at home.
On the 14th the Chap girls got together for our annual day of Cookie Madness. Love it! We mad cookies, then we made some more cookies, and then we made some bars, pretzels, rosettes, and more cookies. The little kiddos decorated sugar cookies, lots and lots of sugar cookies, they were.......well......the were interesting. BUT they thought they were aweome, so that is all that really mattered.

This weekend we started our family gatherings. On Saturday we spent the day in Silver Lake with the Pokornowski clan. What a great day. We did it a little different this year in there was no gift exchange. There was a visit by the big man himself, so the kids got a small gift from him. When we got home that night Amanda looked at me and said that was the best Christmas she had been to in a long time. The cousin just got to play. They played games, sat in bothes and chatted and just had an awesome time. Izzy and Jack were so tired from running through the auditorium that they feel asleep on the way home. A very good day.

Today we spend the day with the Chaps. Again so good to see everyone. The kids have so much fun with there cousins!! It is so great to see the generations bound like the generations past have done! It just really warms a heart!

Well two and a half days of work and then its Christmas eve. We head out to Eric and Carissa's. They had the misfourtune of building a big beautiful house that happens to fit the Chap clan in..
so I am not sure if they volunteer, or if one of us "volunteers" for them. Hopefully the kids dont break anything this year! (yes it was one of my kids!!) Good food, some games and just fun hangin out.

Christmas day we just hang out at home. Jeremy has to work, so if anyone has an emergany, dont worry you are in good hands. Amanda and Josh are going to be with their Grandma Mattson. So Izzy, Jack and I will be home playing with our new toys.

Well have a great week! A Merry Christmas. Stay warm, stay safe!

Love to all!

Jess
