Lucas' First Thanksgiving and Christmas 2013

Lucas' First Thanksgiving with the Bakers

This year we gathered together at Harley's home.  Jason was very happy to introduce his boy to GG.

Nana is totally in love.

What a sweet new family.

We always enjoy being with family at Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  We usually try to get a game of croquet in at our house in the summer.  We need to keep this up, even when granny is gone.  She would want that.

December 9, 2013

Lucas is one month old on mom's 87th birthday.  

Happy birthday mamaw, celebrating at Cracker Barrel.

We had some family photos taken Wed. before Thanksgiving Day. Then Clyde and I left for Florida on Thanksgiving Day morning.

Pap, I'm getting SO tired!

Four Generations

Christmas with my family, the Stinnett's, was held at Rebecca and Michael's beautiful home.

We ate well, decorated gingerbread men cookies, took family photos, and opened presents.

Lucas was introduced to the rest of the family.

 All the Baker and Keith men

The family that prays together.... 

Mom commented how different next year will be for us....running around keeping up with our little man.  This year he was as quiet as a mouse.  

Each year for Becky's birthday, we head to the Horse Park to see Southern Lights.  This year we switched it up and went downtown to eat at Sawyers and walk over to ice skate.  Becky's family skated but the night was nice so we all stayed to watch.

Christmas morning for brunch at nana's.  Everyone was so happy to dine on sausage/egg casserole, cheese danish, and fruit.  Then to open gifts.  Lucas was so sweet, slept most of the morning, but we have hope next year he will be heard!  Lovely holiday season.

Lucas

Lucas was born on November 9, 2013
He weighed at birth 7 lbs. 12 oz. and was 21" in length
He was healthy and perfect in every way!

He was so alert as soon as he arrived!  His eyes were opened quickly.  Jason and Mary stayed with Rosemary throughout the day on Nov. 8th and until he was born, at 4:01 a.m. Nov. 9th.  Jason was amazed at how close he got to the delivery and was able to help the nurse, up to his birth.  

Dad took one look and he was in love.  With Lucas, and more in love with his mother. 

Nana and Austin stopped by on Saturday afternoon, after Austin's baseball game.  He loves baby Lucas.  On a back to school writing piece, I noticed Austin wrote his favorite memory of the 2013 was having Lucas born.  Matthew and Maggie do as well.  She loves holding baby cousin.

All cleaned up, weighed in and ready for mom!

Brother Tim and sister in law Jessica as well as father Tim and our family, Clyde and I, Becky and Jason were there all day and all night!  Long day....worth the wait.

Sweet, sweet baby.  Love him bunches....so much love to go around.

Going home a surprise stop by great mamaws's house.  They had to pick up some supplies nearby and Jason wanted mom to see Lucas.  So, they made a quick pitstop.  He was three days old here.

Well, this will be it for now.  I ran into a snag looking for more photos with other family members and Lucas during his first Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I will make another post soon (hopefully!)  Today is a snow day and the kids are getting ready for their next snack:)  Love, Later!
