Christmas Break in El Paso

As usual, we had a great time in El Paso. We love visiting home, spending time with family, and eating as much Mexican food as we possibly can. Nothing huge to report. ...just a lot of time with family, and our annual outting to the Sun Bowl (great game!!). Here are a few pictures to sum up our trip:

*We got Stone a fun tool set for Christmas. Grandpa Jessup helped Stone take them all out:

*I think I've mentioned this before...Stone can say "Grandma" perfectly fine. But the "p" in Grandpa throws him off, and for some reason he calls Grandpa, "Popcorn". However, a few days into the trip, he got the hang of saying "Grandpa", but quickly reverted. It's kind of cute, actually.

*Stone got to spend a lot of time with his fun little cousins. Below: Sebastian, Danny, Stone.
*Oh, and if you're wondering, yes, that is Stone in his Superman clothes. Each day, it alternates between his full out Halloween costume, and his new one piece swim suit from Jordan and Rachel. He LITERALLY wears something Superman every day. Or at least begs to. Danny was also in his Superman clothes.

*Cliff's brother, Sheldon (below), turned 31 on Christmas Day. Here he is with his two sons, Sebastian and Luke, and his wife has a third child on the way!

*Stone and Danny spent a bunch of time together. It is so fun to watch them play, and see their little imaginations at work. Here they were, FINALLY sitting down to watch a movie on Grandma & Grandpa Jessup's bed, to which they both FINALLY fell asleep to. These two are great buds.

*A big thanks to Deborah. Stone spent time at their place on New Years Eve day while Cliff and I went to the Sun Bowl game (which was a GREAT game!). Deborah helped them make cute New Years Hats. Oh, and she's pregnant with twins!

*Stone got to spend a lot of time with my dad, as well. We got to go out to the movies with Matt and Amy one night, and then he picked Stone up from Danny's on New Years Eve, while Cliff and I finished up the Sun Bowl game. Through out our trip, my dad took him to the Giant Bug Expo, a movie, McDonald's, the mall (where he got to ride a train), and just spent some quality time with him. Stone sure loves both of his grandpas.

*And then there is Uncle Bubba. AKA, Clay (Cliff's little brother, who recently returned from his mission in Argentina). Yes, we have an Uncle Bubba in the family. Stone had SO much fun with Clay. Clay chased Stone and Danny around, pushed them on bikes, played guns with them, etc.

*And he even let him play on the bed of his cool, orange truck. Stone was in heaven.

As you can see, fun times were had!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Happy New Years to all!
