Merry Christmas 2012

Once again, I think the Baird boys had a great Christmas! They all got new Texas Tech T-shirts, Just Dance 4 for the Xbox, new nerf guns, and of course the annual socks and underwear in the stocking! Logan got a Nook HD Tablet, Braden got a Nook, and Nolan got a Nintendo DSI. Steve was super excited to get a new family tent, and I got lots of fun new kitchen gadgets! Santa brought the boys a new trampoline! We have been loving the trampoline and can't wait to go camping! We are all so blessed and have much to be thankful for! 

 Stirling in her brand new Christmas dress. :) 

 Searching HIGH and low for the pickle ornament. Braden eventually found it! 

 Sweet hugs from all three boys

 Excited about a new phone...he has been without a phone since September when his fell off the canoe. 

 Twinkies

A nerf gun war on the trampoline! It doesn't get much better than this! 

Goodbye Barkley!

It is always sad when we have to tell Barkley goodbye! This year, Barkley left Braden and Nolan a little note since they would not be here on Christmas Eve. Nolan left a little note in return. :) 

All Aboard....

Two Christmas traditions in the Baird house are to look at Christmas lights and to get matching pajamas for Christmas Eve. Usually we open the pjs on Christmas Eve so we are picture ready on Christmas day. However, this year we did not have the littlest boys on Christmas Eve so we changed it up a little bit and combined two of our favorite traditions. All Aboard the Enclave Express....we had the pajamas waiting for them on their bed. After a quick dinner, we sent them upstairs to shower and put on their new pajamas. We then all climbed into the Enclave to go see Christmas lights. It was super fun. 

We stopped at the Bowersock house to say hello and they took a family matching pj picture for us!

Breakfast with the Grinch

In our Tuesday folders we got a flyer about a "Breakfast with the Grinch" at a local private school. Since Braden and Logan both had fun Christmas parties that day, Nolan and I decided to check it out. :) It was pretty fun....lots of games and green eggs and ham for breakfast. However, the Grinch was nowhere to be seen....we did get to get our picture taken with Santa again. The request remained the same.....a surprise...I sure hope this boy gets what he wants! 

 With Horton the Elephant

 One gigantic pancake....they had a contest: Horton the Elephant vs. the kids....who could finish the pancake first? 

The Grinch

Every Year, our sweet librarian at school acts out a Christmas story. This year she did How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We always get to wear our pajamas to school. Some of the fourth grade teachers wore Grinch pajamas and got to pose with the Grinch herself! :) Davis and Kamie Bowersock also joined my class to hear the story. They were so cute! :)
