Christmas 2010 - part 2

This is part 2 of our Christmas in Wisconsin. We arrived at the Bakazan's mid-day on Christmas day, and again we were so blessed to have the entire family together for the first time in ages.
From December 2010
And the best part was that we got to meet baby Darren for the first time! He is such a sweet little baby!
From December 2010
And the kids just loved him.

But Calvin was especially fond of him and wanted to always be wherever Darren was and talked about all the fun things he was going to teach him someday. It was so sweet!

We decorated our Happy Birthday Jesus cake with Grandma and then sang happy birthday and blew out the candles after dinner.

It was a very nice and relaxed Christmas. Then the next day was baby Darren's baptism, and Ryan was the Godfather. I don't know what happened, but it seems I didn't take any pictures that day :( But Darren was so good and never cried once, it was a very nice service and a great party.

That afternoon we were all just hanging out in the house and when I looked up there were 2 dear walking around in the back yard!

It was the craziest thing!

The very last stop on our whirlwind Christmas tour was stopping in to see Uncle Mike and Aunt Cindy.

And we got to meet another new baby....baby Sophia! She was so happy and smiley! What a little cutie! And I am so honored that they have asked me to be her Godmother.
From December 2010
I can't wait to spoil her rotten!

Calvin and Jake are buddies and played so well together.

Our trip back to Wisconsin was short but sweet and it was so nice to spend time with the ENTIRE family. With everyone living this military life it doesn't happen very often, but it is so wonderful when it does.
