Adventures in Airports

Getting all of us through security, it's easier just to send the baby through so it's one less thing to carry.
We were supposed to leave Salt Lake at 5:00pm and get home around 10:40pm. When we got to the airport Wednesday night, we found out they didn't have a plane for us; our plane was broken down. We sat at the airport for three more hours while they searched for a plane for us.
The boys had no problem waiting a few more hours.
Faith entertained us all.
This trip was Hope's first time on an airplane.
This was Faith's first time in a seat all to herself.
By the time we landed, it was 2:00 in the morning. While Doug got our luggage, Faith cozied up to these people and their dogs. Good thing they were friendly.
Faith loved feeding them dog biscuits.

3:00 in the morning waiting for our shuttle to take us to our car.

Almost 3:30 am and Faith is still going strong. We would experience these adventures again just to go home for Christmas. So glad we made the trip home, even with four kids.

Utah Happenings

While in Utah we got to see all the Field and Croney cousins. The room wasn't foggy, my camera was.
Great-grandma Stephens met Hope for the first time.
I saw old friends (we're not old, just our friendship).
Me, Melani, and Kristen. We have known each other since sixth grade.
And we got in one more day at the pool.

Christmas in Virginia

The kids woke up on Dec. 18th to find Santa had come a little early.
We could not fit these sleds and other presents on the plane on the way home, so we opened presents early. We had so much snow last year and we didn't have one sled. Now we are prepared, we probably won't get any snow.

James is the football fan.
Spencer's magic trick.




Hope got a few presents from Santa as well.
Faith loved her pink barking poodle.





The kids are set in the toy department for another year.

Christmas in Utah

Here are the pictures from Christmas morning.
Love the hairdos.


The boys got more Legos and Faith got a baby.




Cute little Hope.
We always go to Grandma Grace's for breakfast. She made all of the great-granddaughters cute headbands. Faith wouldn't wear hers.
The breakfast is the best around!
We went back to Mammy's for more presents.





We eat dinner at the Riches' and play games all night.
Merry Christmas!
