Hurray for the world of blogging. We no longer feel the stress of trying to come up with the yearly happenings of our family - we simply put our blog address on our Christmas cards and those that care can visit here to see what we have been up to. Oh the simpleness of it all - I love it!
To keep you from having to scroll through the mundane episodes in our life to see what has been happening in the Baker household this year I'll direct you to a few posts documenting happenings in our life that I would have included in a written letter. (click on the bold red to be taking directly to the post)
January brought the following...
Derek gets a new calling too - called to serve on the High Council
we demoed our kitchen - a big job and took it all the way to the walls
work began on our new kitchen
February...
kitchen countertops - yea! Can you tell that the first few months of the year were consumed with remodeling - I'm not sure we had much of a life.
March...
Emily's choir concert - she loves to sing and was a member of the 6th grade choir last year. This year she is in Madrigals and she enjoys every minute of it. She can be heard constantly singing around the house.
April...
Megan's first Youth Conference and some of what went on
The boys head off to a daddy/son adventure at Lake Powell while the girls and I venture off to San Francisco. More on SF here and here
June...
Disneyland - we enjoyed another year of Disneyland passes. It is always fun to head to the happiest place on earth and enjoy time as a family.
July...
August...
one of the highlights of our year - cliff jumping - a favorite shot - coba - tulum - cenotes - I want to be back there so badly - I miss it!
September...
Emily is 12 and beyond excited to be a part of Young Women's at church
October...
a serious blur - let's just say the election took up all our time
November...
Now we are into December - we are busy with the holidays and with planning a trip to Utah for Christmas. We have enjoyed a very busy, yet fulfilling year. It was filled with some heartache but also with lots of fun and laughter.
Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
