Rebekah's 1st Birthday and More Moses Lake

Okay so we had too much fun over Thanksgiving (setting aside the flying experience--at WHAT point is that supposed to improve!?) for a single post. So now I am updating you all on the Second Part of our trip. This part actually includes Thanksgiving itself!

But the night before Thanksgiving, Ivin and Christina came with their two adorable daughters--Ivie and Rebekah. We had the luck to be there for Rebekah's one year birthday! Christina brought a CUTE WALL-e cake, and we had a great time.

Eli loved Rebekah's toy table...

And Rebekah really liked the cake...

Apparently the sugar rush helped her sleep through the night, too!

Grandpa Baker had a great time sharing his sweets with Eli.

Whitney's family came over to his parents' house--30 people!! His poor mom was hostess for a lot of people--I just realized we never took a photo of all the pies! We had a pie contest and had a lot of entries. Whitney's apple pie was as good as ever, but his experimental pie (cherry apple) actually won an award. My lattice cherry pie won best crust, too and my pumpkin pie won "most traditional". Whit's aunt Lori got the overall best pie, though, for her unique and delicious apple.

I am going to toss in a few photos here--my favorite is the one of 4 generations of Baker men--Great Grandpa Thurn, Grandpa Hugh, Whitney and Eli! Cute, huh!?

Also fun is a photo of Whit, his brother Ivin, and a cousing in law, Ty. I am lucky to have such a HOT husband!! :-)

I thought the one of Hugh and Grandma and Grandpa Baker was special... We were really glad they drove all the way up from Oregon for Thanksgiving--and we are spoiled they live close enough to the Hugh Bakers to come up for a short trip, too. Great to see you both!!

Finally, here is a photo of Whit's cousins and his other cousin's (James) brand new daughter! Note how peacefully she is sleeping--like we hope little Isadora will do a LOT in the near future...
