Unwrapping Santa's presents

I took a few (non-professional) shots with my camera before Santa showed up and a few of the present opening. I thought I'd toss those in too.

Also just a note on the "Baker Blue Eyes." Both Cassidy and my mom (my only two faithful readers! haha) commented when I said Emmy has the "Baker blue eyes" on Emmy's five month photos that they didn't come from the Bakers--only Papa Hugh has blue eyes. I didn't mean from the BAKER ANCESTORS. I just meant that our kids, the BAKER KIDS, all have bright blue eyes, thus the BAKER eyes. It's a new thing. For the record, they likely came from Papa Baker's blue allele mixed with the Stuckey blue eyes but they are the BAKER eyes for our family. :-)

Here are my big kids snuggling with Papa Don.

Eli loves to hold Baby Emmy. And look at those Baby Baker Blues. haha.



The kids were pretty excited to get a present before Christmas. They've been staring at the ones under the tree with longing.





We can't wait til Christmas (even though Daddy has to work every night that week... Doh!

Santa Came to Town

Eli and Dora were so excited to have Santa and Mrs. Claus come to visit. My parents showed up first to be there when the honored guests arrived.


This was Dora's face when Santa arrived...



Emmy wasn't as excited...


The kids are so excited...




Emmy got a bit scared...








Whit was working so he wasn't here for the mania. I look like a 10 foot woman...









Clinsey and fam showed up a bit later...

And Santa gave the kids some presents...


They were pretty excited...


Thanksgiving

We had grandma, Uncle Dan, Aunt Anne, Danny and Dawn, my mom and dad, Jackie, Lincoln and their kids over for Thanksgiving. It was fun! I was too busy watching the baby to take any photos but Whit snapped a few.


Love that baby girl!



We had fun driving cars around the yard. Yay for Texas being like 70 degrees at Thanksgiving. Haha.



Dolphin Swim

Wow, the Dolphin swim in Cozumel was by far the coolest part of the girls' cruise. We got to play with dolphins, touch one, kiss one, hug one, ride one!!



SO COOL!







She went so fast during the belly ride, it was like being on a jet ski that put me an inch over the ground. Wow!!



Here was Alisha--she got drenched.





We miss you Marina!
