Christmas FUN

We had our little Barker family Christmas party on Saturday because Katie and Lance were suppose to be spending Christmas day in Oregon. Because of the weather they will be in Utah after all. It was fun though first they all went sledding while me and Katie stayed home with the babies. As always my Mom made a delicious dinner of Lasagna and Breadsticks YUMMY. Then the kids had to wait and wait and wait to open there presents from Grandma and Grandpa, it was driving them crazy. They stacked those presents and rearranged them so many times I didn't know was possible. Then Grandma and Grandpa made them sing songs it was hilarious watching them, I often times forget what it was like to be a kid but this brought back lots of memories.
Sunday we had the big Barker party, good food, good Bingo (White elephants have gotten a lot better over the years) and great conversation. I love this time of year!!!! I can't believe Christmas is in 3 days.
I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!! The amazing cooks themselves
The kids in there matching pjs that Grandma and Grandpa gave them.

She has arrived!!!

Our sweet little girl made her life into this world December 6, at 10:58 a.m. and weighed 7 lbs 15 oz. 21" long. Her name is McKell Ione Jensen. (named after me and my Grandma Baxter)
It all started Friday night we were over at Sabrina and Billy's watching a movie, I sat up and felt as if I had just wet my pants but I kinda thought it was the what I had been feeling for the last couple months so I just stood up and went to the bathroom but as I stood up more started coming and it was dripping down my leg. We hurry and leave and Jeremy just kept saying are you sure she didn't just kick your bladder so I was almost convinced that was what had happened so when we got home at about 11:15 p.m we call my Mom to see what its like when your water breaks, she has no idea though because that had never happened to her, so we think about it a little longer and then give my Brother Lance a call (who is a doctor) he didn't sound like he thought I had really broke my water but after talking for a while he tells me we better just go in. We get there they check and sure enough I had. I was a bit shocked I had not felt a single contraction yet and my Doctor kept telling me no sooner than the 18th. Labor was a lot different than I expected, I had in my mind it would be a lot worse so it was good. Everything went well. The sec0nd day at the hospital her bilirubin was a little high so they had to take her under the lights. But we are home now and she is a pretty good baby we can only hope sleeping through the nights comes a little sooner. At our Doctors apt. today they weighed her and she is 7lbs 7 oz so she is loosing some weight. Me and Jeremy love her to death and we are so happy she is finally here to join our family. Now here is what you have all been waiting for I know sorry about all the writing.
