Christmas morning

Baker family Christmas

I think Rebekah's favorite part of Jackson is her cousin, Miles.

We didn't skip Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday celebration.

Rebekah and Momma's collaborative artwork.

We had the Carter Family Thanksgiving the weekend before. It was very nice.

Marie, Jeremy, and Will came down from Atlanta.

MawMaw and Aunt Bill came up from Kentwood.

We took some great family photos outside.Me and the sweet babes.

Will and Rebekah "riding"

Rebekah and I went to Jackson the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving.

Wednesday morning we got to play with Cousin Miles at his house.

Aunt Nichole pulled out her Barbie dolls for Rebekah.

Thanksgiving day, I ran a 5 mile "Hobble then Gobble" race in our neighborhood.

Then we had lunch with the Carters at our house and an afternoon of family down time.

It was lovely.

Halloween

We had a little lamb
a wooly wiggly little lamb

She followed us to the Giles' house

And then followed Ty for the rest of the night A okay picture of our little lion and lamb

(not so great of me)

We went trick or treating for the very first time.

Ty was a great leader.Knocking on the doorThe lights come onThe door opensAnd we get candy! And more candy!

We only went to four houses.

We still have enough loot left over from ZooBoo.

We went back to the Giles' for their 7th Annual Halloween Party.

Ty and the Beks fighting sleep and providing free entertainment.

Mitchell Farms: Pumpkin Patch

We visited Mitchell Farms last year.

(In case you don't know, if you click on the colored text it will take you to the pictures from last year) Our Family of 3, 2009
Beks and the pumpkins

When she first saw all the pumpkins, she exclaimed "BALLS!"

She wanted to sit on many of the pumpkins.

Picking a pumpkin is serious business.
Not quite big enough to drive the tractor. Sitting on hay bales.

Enjoying a toy in the play-yard. Looking around with Daaa.

Happy Easter

...the difference a year makes...

My Valentines

I had the wonderful idea for Beks to have a slumber party in Laurel Thursday night

so J.R. and I could celebrate Valentine's sans bebe a few days early.

I came home to the following on Thursday....Pretty roses, my favorite cookies, a big glass of water and an itunes card...

Sweet man of mine.

Just a closer look.

If you sniff the screen, you maybe able to smell them.

And these too.

My funny Valentine.

And I got these sweets at school on Friday.

Not much compared to the homeroom teachers,

but just enough to help me fall in love with those babies all over again.

And this is J.R.'s Valentine from me. I always try to make him something.

He has a Valentine wall in our bedroom.

I hope you all enjoyed your Valentines with someone special.
