We were lucky to be able to head to Roseville early in the month and spend an early Christmas with my family. We normally visit for a few days over Christmas vacation but made the trek early this year.
It was a three day weekend for us and it was busy. We drove up Thursday evening and got home Sunday afternoon.
A few year's ago my parents were asked to be Mr. and Mrs. Claus at their ward Christmas party. My mom made all of the outfits by hand and even made a Buddy the Elf costume that my youngest brther Bert wore for a few years. They are quite popular. This year my nephew Cooper donned the "Buddy the Elf" costume and had a good time.
While we were visiting this weekend we attended a ward Christmas dinner and another ward's pancake breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. It was quite entertaining.
Grandpa Baer adopted a beagle named "Rufus" a week before we got there, so we were all very anxious to meet him....especially Wiggy. They became fast friends and played together all weekend.
We also picked the right weekend to visit since it was the Big Baer Christmas party. All four of my dad's siblings were there this year so we had lots of cousins to visit with. It was lots of fun...and we took lots of pictures.
My mom made all of the younger grandkids Christmas vests/dressses too. So we got all of the kids dressed up before the Baera Christmas party and snapped some pictures. There were two two-year olds so it was a little unpredictable. But....we were very thankful for the time and effort Grandma put towards the adorable outfits.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
