Breakfast with Santa

Our neighborhood started a yearly Breakfast with Santa. We couldn't attend the first year or two. Last year we showed up totally unprepared in our attire. I had no idea what a great thing this was. Santa is wonderful and Cathye, a neighor who is a professional photographer, takes great pictures and prints them for you delivered right to your mailbox. No long lines and the picture is much better than what you would get at the mall, etc. and you bring toys for each kid that are donated for kids in need. While it was a little early to be thinking of Santa, it was a great time! Unfortunately we don't have digital pics (although you can buy them), but I took pictures of the pics to document.

This was Brooke's first year to really be aware of Santa. She was not a fan and got a little teary, but we got a picture of her that wasn't too bad. Although not happy, she was at least not crying!

Blake's Last Soccer Game

Blake had a great last soccer game of the season and for his career. He has decided that he doesn't want to play soccer anymore. It's sad, but he has enjoyed playing on the Rockets for 3 years.

Baldwin Family Christmas Pictures

We had the Baldwin Family Christmas pictures taken. I'm always very nervous as to how my kids will behave and I was very curious how it would go taking a picture with 6 adults and 5 kids.

And...................it went great!

It was a VERY cold morning, but everything went amazing smooth. The photographer was beyond ecstatic and couldn't stop commenting how she couldn't believe how easy it was. Her camera was on rapid fire and here is what she got.....

Ben's Bike-a-thon

Ben had a Bike-a-thon at school to benefit St Judes Children Hospital. He missed last year since he was sick on the day they had it. He was excited to be apart this year.
