We're Back...

That was for you Nathan :) We've made it safe and somewhat sound. The girls are crashing here in the room with a dinner of granola bars and cheese crackers. The rest of the clan is attempting dinner at the hotel restaurant. There aren't really any other spots to eat here so we're going to have to do meals at the hotel or the gas station quick mart next door (yum, I know).
I've posted some quick photos of our flight. Sarah made a buddy on the plane - the two of them played off and on throughout the entire 13 hour flight. They had a great time! Anna was quite excited that we flew over the North Pole but was disappointed by the lack of a Santa sighting.
Wish I could type more but I'm working on about 6 hours of sleep in 2 days and am unsure if I can type anymore complete sentences. Here are a few photos...

Starting Anna early with a Starbucks addiction...The black tea is yummy!

Jacob did great on the flight and slept more than anyone!

Well, that huge trip is behind you--that must be a relief. Hope the rest of the stay is as uneventful--except, of course, gotcha day.

Faith thought you were participating in some kind of kid exchange program. She wanted to know if you were taking back on of those that were on the plane. I assured her that you were keeping all of yours and getting one more.
Glad to hear you made it safely.
