We had a great time in Michigan. It was so fun to see both of our families and have them see Ann. She is so BIG!! I have a lot more Christmas pictures to post but for some reason i am not able to post them right now so i will just update everyone a little bit.
We were in Michigan for about a week we were able to see my whole family and Scott's family. We went up Christmas day to
surprise my Grandma Syracuse (who just turned 80 yrs old) and almost her whole family was there! She had no idea we were coming and than all 6 of her kids and most of her
grand kids were there john had to work so he wasn't able to be there :( ... Dang it! IT was great to see everyone... it had been a while.
While Ann was in MI she got 2 teeth, mastered crawling and started to pull herself up on everything! She is getting so big! It was great to see everyone! On the way home we were bumped to first class so that was awesome! An Marie did pretty goo on the plane ride back she was just really sleepy and totally off schedule! With the time change and getting teeth she was up several times
every night that we were there.
When we got back we were home for 3 days and then went to Idaho for Scott's
nieces baptism. Now Idaho can be on Ann's list of places she has been
before a year old! We went for
Mateya's baptism and we spent the weekends with Scott's mom (who flew out a few days before we got there), Scott's sister Tammy and her family and his other sister Jaime. We left after Scott got back from work and as we were driving in the snow and ice our coolant light came on, as well as the check engine light than when we pulled over so i
could get in back with
Ann we pulled into a mud pit and got stuck! After Scott was covered in mud we finally arrived much later than anticipated but it was a great trip and we are VERY glad we went!
Now we are home. Finally home sweet home! Ann is still teething so sleep is something we dream about over here :) Hopefully the worst is over with. I have come down with a cold but
hopefully it doesn't turn into more than that!
Hopefully I can put some more pictures up of Ann and her first Christmas so check back in a few days!
Ann has been spoiled rotten with cute clothes and lots of toys this Christmas! My mom is on the right... enjoying being a grandma for the first time and spoiling Ann :)
My sister Chrissy got Ann a car that is a walker and scooter and Scott couldn't wait to put it together! Ann on the other hand is chewing on her very own phone.
I love this picture because Ann and Scott and both quite busy trying to get things.
Grandma and Ann Marie! Grams was so good with Ann is such a party girl! She loves people and new places. Ann has changed so much in these last few months and it was great to have everyone see her sweet personality. 
This is a big group picture of the family and everyone who went up to surprise my Grandma Syracuse. It was so fun! I think we played the signs game for a couple of hours and finally went to bed at about 230 am!
Christmas day! Surrounded by presents! Ann and i Both look pretty tired! We were up all night with all teething i don't think the time changed and new enviorment helped!
Teething anyone?
Christmas day we opened gifts! ps... this is me with no sleep and Ann teething!
Ann loves her new toys!
We had to wake Ann up from her nap to open gifts so she was a little out of it :)
