Fast and Furious Christmas Break!

First of all, we decided to take off and head up to the cabin for a little snow! We didn't have Tyler with us because he went to Park City with the Glauser's, (pic's later in the post) but we did have a fun day up at Sunrise with a whole lot of some of the rest of the cousins! Little did we know, when we got up to Pinetop, the cabin was PACKED with people!! There were 31 people there! There were people coming from everywhere it looked like! People were sleeping on beds...people were sleeping on air mattresses...people were sleeping on the couches...and people were sleeping on the floor! It's hard to fill up that huge cabin -- but that week? DONE!

NOW...Tyler's trip to Park City!
p.s. I stole these pics from Jessica's FB! Thanks Jess! Tyler didn't take any pictures! Are you kidding? She got some really great ones of one of his jumps!

...and THIS!!! happened while we were gone! Thanks to our good friend, Diana Anderson, they were all fine and healthy when we got home and she even offered to keep them for us so we could continue our adventure on our break!!
ON TO PHASE 2 OF OUR CRAZY BREAK.....


Disney's "CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE"

We went to Disneyland and California Adventure for New Year's Eve!
Craziest day EVER!! Both parks full to capacity! It was SO crowded, but we still had tons and tons of fun!! We took Courtney's friend, Page with us and she was so fun to have along. We traded her for the puppies!! Her mom had them...Yippee!! What a trade!
It's been one of the things on mine and Jessica's list to see...Disneyland at Christmastime!!
It's so BEAUTIFUL! Just look at that castle! WOW!
It's a super lit up "BEAUTIFUL" small world!

Pic's at the Strike of MIDNIGHT!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Christmas 09

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
We sure did at the Baker home.
It started like it always does, with Christmas Eve
at Grandma and Grandpa Skousen's house.
Yummy food, super fun entertainment,
and cute (but maybe not so reverent) Nativity
and just a lot of fun interaction
with the whole family!
There isn't anything better!!
❤We love the every year "traditional" songs on the accordian by Grandpa❤
Courtney and Tatum...always together : )
A huge hug for Rhett for his awesome present for Dillon!
Jessica's super cute necklace she got!
Tyler rockin' his new beanie.
Grandma and Grandpa with the Grandkids.
Really...is there anything better? I think. NO.
Then home to get ready for Christmas morning!
Whew! Too much fun this year!!
Rip Rider's. Freeboard's. New Clothes and Boots everywhere. I-Pod's.
Bike's that fell out of Santa's sleigh...and then came late!
Told you. WAY too much fun this year!

Check out the excitement on those faces!! LOVE IT!
The FREEBOARD!
Checkin' out the GOODS!
Hats, Scarfs & Shoes Oh My!
Even the boys look (a little) happy about the clothes. haha!
The RIP RIDER!
