3 Baird sisters

So, here we are, I am the youngest of course. Natalie, Lynette & Me. ---Oh, and we have 4 brothers too.

Liberty Belles

So, I graduated back in 1997 from Beyer. I was involved all 4 years in the choirs. The best was the ALL girls choir -Liberty Belles. We were soooooo good. We have proof....we won 1st place out of all the other choirs (BIG and small) from all over the country my Senoir yr in Chicago. The choir consisted of 16-20 girls. We would go on choir tours to Sunnyvale, CA; Anaheim, CA; Washington D.C.; and last but not least Chicago. We had a blast in the festivals singing, showing off, seeing the sights, goofing off....and of course meeting all of the cute guys. During H.S. I was close with all of the girls in Liberty Belles, especially after spending so much time with them throughout the years. I have kept in touch with some, but not all. A few weeks ago, I found a friend (Erin) on face book...finally!!!!! Then from there 5 of us met up for lunch last week. We had a great time reminiscing about the fun times we had and also to share what we were up too. 4 of us were from Choir (Melissa, Brook, Erin & I) and then the other one ( we forgot to get our pics taken before she had to go) was Dana. It's funny. Dana & I had been friends since elementary school, but in H.S. we had different friends, so we didn't get to chat much. Her and Erin (Liberty Belles) actually met at college and Dana was in Erin's wedding. SMALL WORLD. Anywho. We all met up and had a blast. We missed everyone who wasn't there.

Merry Christmas

So, this year Christmas was just as we had hoped.....no stress. It was sort of weird not having ANY family around, but also very peaceful. I had made the rolls the day before, so the only big things we needed to do were......get the girls in bed (man, that was the easiest ever....why can't Santa come EVERY night?), and then preparing and cooking the turkey on Christmas. We woke up...oh wait....the girls woke us up (Kylie is now in a big girl bed), the we got our stockings and opened the presents. The family gift was a flat screen and a holder/stand...whatever you call it-- to put it on. The girls had a few fun little toys, but the best one was the BIG Santa gift. A 2 sided doll house. Way to go Santa!!!! Now the girls can have their own side of the doll house without the fighting. YEAH!!!!! It even came with about 50 pieces of furniture. They wake up and play without bugging us... yeah right....they still come in and beg for food. It's not our fault when they don't eat their dinner and then they are even more hungry the next day. So, after presents we played some games and relaxed, then realized....oh, I guess we can put the turkey in now. Not a big deal....we didn't have to keep to ANY schedule ( I have to admit, that was nice). After everything was ready......around 6-7 pm (yes, I know....we put the Turkey in a little late. But we normally eat dinner around 7pm normal days...yes, I know that's late too.) er ate a lovely dinner. For dessert I made a brownie pie. YUM! We had a great Christmas and we hope you did too. Please be safe and happy as the new year comes plowing on through. This year has gone by so fast, and a lot has happend. We are truly grateful for the Gospel and our family and friends, and for the MANY blessings we have recieved this year. Happy Holidays!!!
