The Baker Family Christmas Party

Another Christmas tradition our family has is getting together with my mom's side of the family. Usually my mom hosts the party with all my cousins and their children at her house, however, this year it was hosted by my grandma at Mounds Park in their Pavillion . What can I say....it was a BLAST!! My brother-in-law is a DJ on the side so he set up his equipment and we rocked the night away. He played everything from the Cha Cha Slide and Electric Slide to Bing Crosby singing White Christmas. It was so much fun seeing all the kids, as well as the adults dancing and singing. How many families do you know that all get up and do the Electric Slide? Thanks Grandma....we look forward to doing this next year!!

A Christmas Tradition!

Back when my family lived in Mustin Manor we lived next door to the Norris clan. Our families lived next to each other on Roby Drive for 28 years until both families moved away. Years ago we started the tradition of spending a night together celebrating Christmas. I have such fond memories of this tradition. Each year the other neighbor would host the party. This year it was the Norris' turn. As usual Shelia tempted us with tasty treats like Christmas Wreaths (which my sister loves), Buckeyes, Cherry Cobbler and Fudge! As I looked around the room and saw everyone sitting together, talking and laughing it was like we just started where we left off......on Roby Drive! All of us being together just makes me realize how much I really do miss the old house.
