Christmas on Monday

OK, it's been way tooo long since a post.  I did blog about  our Christmas in Utah, now I'll blog about our early Christmas with the Shelby's before they left to ditch us at Christmas.  They came on Saturday evening to be here for the blessing of Finley Jean Baird.   It was a beautiful Sunday with  a great blessing and family and food.  Thanks Bairds.

This sure was a great start to the Christmas week.  I love family!

Then on Monday it was Christmas here with some very excited kids.

Adam is a delight.

Caleb, he is easy, he just watches and enjoys all of the fun.
Hannah, so easy to please.  So easy to spoil.
Nicole, good thing that this wasn't her only present, kind of small.  More on the way.
TJ, in cashmere, everyone needs at least one.

I love my family.

Shelby October Visit

I send a quick post tonight and add to it another day when there is more time.

The Shelby's arrived wed. in preparation for the boys (Tj, Robby and Scott) pack backing trip the next couple of days.  Nicole took TJ up the hill Thurs. and Robby and Scott joined him on Fri. and Sat. for male bonding and crazy hiking.

These are pictures that Nicole took when they dropped him off.
