Christmas 2008 at the Bakes in CA!

This year we spent Christmas with Larisa, Jared, Kyser and Emmett in Elk Grove, CA, by Sacramento! We stayed at a Fairfield Inn in the evenings near by and were able to add some additional fun times as swimming and having a sleep over with Grammie and Bumpa with Kyser! We also feasted on delicious meals, played logos and more logos, walked, played at the park, read books, did puzzles, saw a movie, played kid games with the kids, did the nativity with a nativity set, made a nativity Christmas cake (thanks Liz for the idea) went shopping, had a scrumptious traditional ham Christmas dinner and had a great meal with Jared and Larisa at the Texas Road House! We loved the late night (well, not really late - we were all very tired by 9pm at night) chats and being together. Jared was able to have Christmas Eve afternoon, all of Christmas and Friday and Saturday off so it was like a mini vacation for the family! Thank you for the wonderful times, for putting up with us, for the beautiful memories and for having such a wonderful family!

This is the Bake family - Kyser, Jared, Larisa and Emmett! They are a happy, fun loving and energetic family!
Santa leaves a letter to Kyser saying he loved the cake, but couldn't finish it, but Rudolph ate almost all of his apple! Thanks for the goodies, Ky!

The stockings are hung with care!
