We were able to celebrate Christmas with The Baker side of the family this weekend. Grandma Baker came over to Chuck and Sue's and everyone was able to be there. It was so nice to have her there because she has not been out of the house since she came home from the nursing home. Even though she can't see anymore, she was taking it all in. She cried when she left and gave everyone a hug and a kiss goodbye.
Josh, Beth, Justin, Colt and I stayed the night at Chuck and Sue's since we had another Baker Christmas early in the morning. Colt had a little too much ice cream that night and decided he didn't want to go to sleep until 5AM!! Needless to say, Justin and I had a few choice words for each other and for Colt. Colt was literally laughing so hard he was doing the silent laugh- at 3 AM. UGH What a kid!
We went to Grandpa Baker's for Christmas in the morning. Matt and Candy and Brad and Karen were in town and we were able to spend some time with them and the kids. They are all so well behaved and helpful. The food is always amazing too. The kids drew names for presents and passed them out in reverse order. It didn't go so well for Colt. He had already tried to open every one's presents, but waiting until last was very difficult for him. But we made it and he got some cute books.
We have one more Christmas and although it is always busy, we feel so blessed to have so many grandparents left to celebrate with. We know our time with them is limited, so we try to enjoy every chance we get to celebrate with them. And we are so thankful they get to know Colt and he gets to know them. Merry Christmas!
