Christmas Spectacular in Bakertown!

The Bakers headed up to Conn for Christmas! Wyatt swaddles up under the mini-tree...
Finn and Mimi decorate Christmas Cookies...
And on Christmas Eve, Uncle Sean and Wyatt have a few laughs!
The boys headed out to feed the reindeer, in hopes that St. Nick would soon appear!
We all got very lucky and stumbled onto Santa unloading presents under the tree! The boys were so excited! Santa shared some gifts with the 4 little boys and Christmas had begun!
On Christmas Morning, Finn starts jammin'!
And loved his new pirate costume...
The Bakers take a break from the festivities.
Wyatt and Cole share a moment with Leo the rollable lion.
Wyatt tries on his new snowsuit!
Lucky thing - because we got hit with a big storm, so the boys had some great warm gear, courtesy of Mimi and E-pa.
"I can taste the snowflakes! Or is that just my runny nose?"
Finn has lunch with E-pa.
We visited Jake and Cole in Milford, where the boys dined...
And were treated with an after dinner delight! Ice cream!
We drove home...and Finn found out he got to take the purple cast off!
After taking off the cast, Finn played on his new Monster stilts...
And enjoyed a sandwich from his favorite restaurant for being such a good patient.
Wyatt relaxes at home, with a joyous first Christmas under his belt.
One of Finn's presents was a keyboard (to go with drums, cymbals and a guitar) complete with a microphone! Let the crooning begin!

Finishing 2010 with a bang...

We're finishing up 2010 in style - with new Christmas jammies for Wyatt...
And a new purple cast for Finn's broken arm! Finn got a hairline fracture in his left arm, the result of a minor climbing accident (climbing on his indoor trampoline).
He's doing much better now and really likes his cast...he's got two and a half weeks of wearing it!
He handled the X-rays, doctor's visits and cast application like a trooper, we were so proud of him. Add in a dash of pink eye, and it was a rough day in Bakertown.
All is well now in Bakertown, looking forward to the holiday coming up!
Love,

Seasons Greetings!

The Bakers headed to Brookside Gardens for a light show spectacular! First stop, the caterpillar tunnel!
Erin recreates pregnancy with a much larger version of Dumpling!
Fun on the carriage...
A giraffe of lights...
Finn and Daddy pose next to the giraffe...
Finn finds a lion!
After the light show, we headed indoors for some hot chocolate and accordian music!
Finn, cocoa and Wyatt!
Wyatt takes a bath! Note: this is a different giraffe from the one at the light show.

Turkeys!

Here in Bakertown, we wear a lot of hats around the holidays...
We entertain...
Listen to stories...Represent Ireland Rugby...
Run in Turkey Trots...
And celebrate our successes! We ran a 5k in 33:32 - not bad considering we were pushing a giant stroller through a crowd of almost 3 thousand people!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,

Happy Birthday, Finn!

Finn turned 3 years old today! It's truly crazy how time flies, our little man is growing up so fast! The family celebrated by going to a puppet show in the morning, which Finn loved...
Finn wears his birthday crown with Mom on the way to the park...
A little playground time for the birthday boy!
Finn went to his favorite sandwich shop for a PB sandwich...
And the final treat - a chocolate milkshake! (which he generously 'shared' with Mom and Dad)
We capped it all off with a dinner at the same Indian restaurant that he's gone to his last 2 birthdays, but alas the camera battery died before we could take a picture.
Happy Birthday Finn! We love you.
Love,
A&E

Laughing in the kitchen!

Wyatt was yuckin' it up the other day in the kitchen!
"If only you could see what I'm seein' - it's hilarious!"
"Ohh, ahh, hee hee...man, this is priceless!"
Finn set up a makeshift drum set in the living room...
Finn and Wyatt, being silly!



The laughs just keep on comin' here in Bakertown!

Trick or Treat!

The Bakers headed out for some Halloween fun this past Sunday...and Finn's first "real" trick or treating! A little bumblebee joined us, too.
Finn shows off his costume...
And heads out to gather some candy!
It didn't take long before he had learned to strike off on his own.
At the end of the night, a nice little haul was gathered by the lonesome cowboy!
In other crazy news, Halloween marked the 1 year anniversary of returning back from Hong Kong...my, how time flies!
Love,
