The holidays with the Baird clan!

Being in Utah is really fantastic because we have so much family there that we get to spend time with.  As usual, we had a lovely time with my family and are excited to get to see them all again so soon!  (My parents 50th wedding anniversary is in February and we'll all be together again then.)
The one bad thing about so much family is that I of course fail to get pictures of everyone.  Sorry!
But, we had a great time!  Here are some highlights:

Woof-woof, The Little One & I went caroling with my parents one evening.  One of the people we caroled to gave Woof-woof a candy bar.  When we got back to my parents house she sat down on this horse and started eating (while watching Rudolph).  It was really cute!
The Little One saw this pillow pet and commandeered it as her favorite thing to ride!
 We had a lovely Christmas dinner with my family.  It was followed by a talent show.
My dad, The Guy, and The Little One watching the talent show.
 A bunch of family laughing about something.
 Some of my nieces and a nephew.
 More family at the talent show!
 My dad and brother, L, playing their saxophones.
(You should feel jealous - it sounded so great!)
 We gave the R&C kids some quilts for Christmas.
 Here they are with their quilts!
 It's always great to go horse riding while we're there.

 I LOVE that this is the view from my parents yard!
 Sweetie, Grandpa J, and Woof-woof riding horses.
 The Little One found something new to ride!  She was a bit apprehensive at first (the pictures of her with Sweetie are pretty funny), but she warmed up to the idea and cried when she had to get off.
 Grandma B even led Sweetie around a few times.
We also had fun dinners, went ice skating, played laser tag, went caroling, tied all those quilts you saw, laughed a lot, played games, and had a ton of fun.
It's wonderful to be with my family and have so much fun.  
I can't wait for a weekend of fun coming up so soon!
