Time, time, time, see what's become of me

What, you ask, is up at the Bake house. Or maybe you don't (because the Bakes are quasi-crazy). Well, let me tell you.....Wait for it.......A whole fat lot of nothing. Well not really, we do homework and clean that house and take baths/showers and go to church and eat 3 squares+snacks a day and drive to the store and dream of re-doing the whole house and change diapers and wait and wait for something crazy-exciting to happen. Now here is the problem. I was once told, and I quote; "bored people are boring". People, what do I need to do to spice this place up. I know it doesn't help that I am growing a human in my womb( pronounced WOOM BA) and all I can see clear to do is lay on the couch, but boring? Me? I shudder to think. So right here and now I am taking a stand against my boring self. Marnae is gonna get her groove back. Then I will write lengthy blogs detailing my unboringness. It is gonna be amazing. Me and boring are over. Finished. Kiss it, boring! Hasta la vista baby!

The Season in one post

Ahem, testing one, two, is this thing on? Hello there, you. Well it seems as if my New Year's resolution to not change one single thing about myself is working. I am still and ever will be crap as far as bloggers go. It is only the 23 of Jan and I am FINALLY posting about Christmas. Sheesh! Rather than bore us all with an apology I am just going to go ahead and present....the Bake Family Christmas.

The ward Christmas party(which Dave and Henry boycotted because seriously, who plans these events on a Saturday morning) Millie was terrified of Santa and Max just wanted to go back to bed.Making Penoche(my late grandpa's tradition) with the Bales'/Scott's, plus tubing behind the Rhino and hot cocoa consumption.The Christmas Eve lights at the cemeteryOne of the reasons I married Dave, he looks awesome in hats.
Christmas Eve was joyous with Elv's traditional holiday fare there was also some Christmas Eve flirtationsChristmas Eve disgustChristmas Eve primpingChristmas Eve AwesomenessChristmas Eve TeethChristmas Eve Wonder Chrismas Eve Adoration

Since the boys now live down stairs we made them blow the fog horn and wake us up before they came upstairs, turns out Dave and I are not so easily awakened and the boys about had a nervous break-down. All in all it was a swell day with lots of happy kiddos and parents and peeps.
