I'm sorry for the lack of blogposts...


After realizing that neither Joel or I have posted on our blog for the last two months, I thought it was about time to update...especially since I just got a new camera and have photos to share!

I'm sad to see my favorite time of year pass so quickly...oh Christmas. I'm just about finished putting away the decorations and unpacking all our presents. No more Amy Grant Christmas Album...well at least until next November :)

Here are a few photos...

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Moores and Wilsons, so Christmas was with the Bakers. It was first Christmas "away" from my family, but fortunately I'm a lucky girl girl and married into an amazing family (and I'm not just saying that knowing my in-laws will read this :) Hi Leuan and Dave). Christmas day was spent at Joel's Aunt Peggy and Uncle Dale's in Colusa. We had the annual Baker/Towzen/Simpson gift exchange, which was quite fun to finally see live (I got to participate the Christmas Joel and I were engaged, but wasn't able to be there in person). We got some really neat gifts and had a very tasty turkey dinner followed by Grandma LaRene's delicious pies. After that we had a little visit with Grandma Ann and then headed back to Auburn. The following day we had the annual Baker/Kellar gift exchange which has now officially been titled "Gift and Shout."

Afterwards, we went over to my parents house on the other side of Auburn to visit my family, including my immobile dad who just had knee replacement surgery. We had a great time visiting with my grandparents on my Dad and Jess' side who we hadn't seen in quite some time. Played lots of games and got to indulge in the leftovers from Christmas day.

All and all a great trip and we were sad to leave...
