Christmas this year was so great. I am starting to get those Christmas butterflies back that were gone for so long. I get so excited to see the kids faces on Christmas morning when they run down to see if Santa brought them what they asked for. They are at the funnest ages right now and I know that we will always cherish these times. There are some Staheli's (no relation) in our ward and they have sort of adopted our family. They invited us over for a Christmas eve lunch/dinner. We went over thinking it might be a bit awkward since we would be the only ones there that weren't family. It ended up being so fun and the kids had friends to play with so it worked out great. That evening I went and picked Grandma Glo up for dinner at our house. We love having her over and I am so glad that she chooses to spend her evening with us. We don't have family around so having an adopted grandma works out so great. We ate a fancy meal and watched the nativity before the kids put on their jambes Pip (our elf) brought them. Chad bore a beautiful testimony of the Savior and the kids were so sweet to listen to every word. Christmas day we headed to St. George to spend a few days with Grandma and Grandpa Staheli. We were able to swim at their new house and it's safe to say the kids were pretty much in heaven. We loved it so much we are going to try and go down for a few weeks soon.

The kids wanted to pose on every single boulder
They are the cutest
This is Henry's quilt from Grandma Staheli. She never ceases to amaze me. She did an amazing job on this quilt.
On our way home we got to have Christmas #2! We stopped at Casey's house to open all of our gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Cutler. The kids loved every single thing and had so much fun playing with their stuff in the car.
Christmas morning pancakes!
