Hair fixing Brigade Saturday before the baptism
We have been so busy having fun, we haven’t taken the time to document it…until now.
Thanksgiving weekend brought about many fun times. The food was good, the setting was perfect (Rick’s work) for the bulging family, and my children had a blast hanging out with their cousins! Like always after we ate we scoured the Black Friday adds. I was soo exhausted after several sleepless nights, that I couldn’t muster up enough energy to even get excited about participating. Rather, I shopped online in the comforts of my king-sized bed, snuggled up next to my cute hunny. I have now become converted to this kind of Black Friday Shopping! I got everything I wanted with free shipping. I did miss the rush and the crowd watching, but definitely NOT the cold. Friday we went cross country skiing, which was fun. I can’t wait for more snow to enjoy this sport some more.
The following week was filled with many preparations for Lily’s Baptism Weekend. We were anxiously awaiting all of the Baldwin family. We also experienced a miracle – the ENTIRE BABCOCK FAMILY made it to Rexburg! It has been 4 1/2 years since my sister has been here so I was very excited. It was so much fun and many great memories were made. My mom has a knack for spoiling her children and grandchildren and this weekend was no exception! It was fun to be with my family and celebrate. Happy Birthday to Eric yesterday.
We are very grateful for loving extended families!

Thank you for hosting us all. The kids made some great memories. And we all learned a little secret about miss Michelle….

Congrats to Lily! How fun for everyone to get together! It just wasn’t the same only being there virtually… especially now that I hear there’s a secret I missed out on.
