FINALLY!!


After being gone for two and a half weeks (during a holiday) I have TONS of pictures to catch up on. It will probably take me a week to get all of the posts done, especially since we had Christmas, an anniversary, two birthdays, and all of the photos that go along with a vacation at a ranch with family! So, without further ado, here is the first round:
After staying awake for basically three two-hour flights, arriving in Idaho at 1 am our time, she finally crashed.
Cousin Jacob and Griff hanging out baby-style.
After Griffey had his ear tubes placed a couple of days before we left, he learned really quickly to lay perfectly still for his antibacterial drops. Isn't he cute? On another funny note, Jayci keeps trying to convince me that she needs surgery so she can pick out a beanie baby at the center like both of her brothers have been able to!
Griffin all snuggled up with Papa. I'm telling you, this little boy LOVES his Papa. He even started saying Papa by the end of the trip. And its funny because he kind of has an aversion to women. I think since he is such a mama's boy, he sees all other girls as trying to take him away.
Treyton helped Nana and Papa feed all of the cows and horses in the morning. And can I just tell you how freaking cold Idaho mornings are? One morning it was NEGATIVE. That's just not right.
Treyton with Cookie Grandma on Christmas Eve at the Shelley house. It was fun to have the whole Sharp side there. We even got to Skype with Nate's cousin, Darby, who is serving in Iraq. Pretty amazing.
Jayci and Makell. Man, was she loving having a family full of girls to play with.
Eating some of Nana and Papa's good cooking.
Olivia and Nate.
Bonnie and Jacob.
Nate's cousin, Josh, and our little weirdo. He made this face all night long.
Bonnie and Mom Sharp organized a cute live Nativity...complete with an angel who picks her nose. Mmmm....
Treyton was excited/embarrassed to be Joseph.
Ahhh....
Santa made a seriously surprise visit. Seriously. Nobody knew who he was until after he left. It was a little creepy!
Griffin's favorite part of presents is the wrapping paper.
Christmas morning in their new jammies!
Kristi and Mom with their fresh morning faces.
Nana and Papa gave Treyton a DS for his Christmas/Birthday gift. He LOVES it! He has had a lot of fun with it. But now that we are back home, his time is closely monitored by the techno Nazi.
Mom/Linda and Dad/Bruce gave Jayci an adorable ballerina outfit (in which she informed me that ballerinas don't have to wear undies...) and magnetic Tinkerbell with Fawn and Ariel with Eric which Jayci has played for countless hours. Perfect.
Treyton is rocking his Spiderman jammies. I am pretty sure he wore these every day until we left. They were perfect! Especially since his Buzz ones were creeping up on his knees...
Kristi surprised her with a Justin Bieber shirt. Yes, our three year old has Bieber Fever. Don't ask me how. I'm still trying to figure it out. But she sings it randomly through out the day, gets all giddy when she sees a picture of him, and loves wearing his clothes. Oh man.

Hey..it has been a while. I haven't seen you forever. I am slow to hear the news, but am so sorry about what happened! You deserve a metal for all you have been through..and by yourself to top it off.

Looks like you guys had a good Christmas break. My Teegan & Camdyn were Joseph & an angel too. Hope to see you soon. Please feel free to come to scraps one of these nights when you feel caught up on sleep! :)

Great Christmas pics! Looks like you guys had a blast. I'm sure it was extra nice to have Nate there the whole time, too, without having to work or study!
And I was so close to getting Heather a Justin Bieber t-shirt for Christmas, too. Just couldn't find anything above kid sizes.
Can't wait to see more pics!
