Hello to all of the Staheli blog followers!! I'm sorry for the much needed post, I have been meaning to update forever but I got a new camera for Christmas and I still haven't quite figured out how to transfer and post stuff. Be patient my dears, I'm working on it. Well, we had an AMAZING Christmas, we went to Island Park with Chad's family and it was sooo fun. We got there Christmas eve and the rest of the family was supposed to show up Christmas day, but the weather was SO bad they couldn't come until a few days later. There was a lot of relaxing to be done. We played tonz of games, laughed a lot, cooked a lot, and of course ate a lot. I think I gained 10 pounds while we were there and I'm not kidding! The food was so good and there was so much of it I couldn't help myself. Grace had such an amazing time playing with cousins running around and playing in the snow. Mikey has two cousins right around his same age so we just barracaded off the living room and made a huge play pen for all three. It was lots of fun. As for gifts, well, I got a new camera, a new phone (and a new network, yay verizon!) And some perfume. Chad got a calendar from me for his eyes only ;) (p.s. I highly reccomend this gift for all of you ladies to give your husbands. It was well recieved and SOO much fun to make. Thank you dear Sara. You are the best friend a gal could as for.) Gracie and Mike got a DVD player for the car. BEST GIFT EVER. Chad and I also got to take a tour through Yellowstone on snowmobiles, that was our gift to eachother. Also, a ton of fun. Overall, it was an amazing Christmas. I'm glad to be home and excited to get back into the groove of things. I need to have a shopping trip to hit up the sales. Tia Pan anyone? I hope you all had wonderful holidays. Ours sure was. We drove home new years eve and I fell asleep at 8:00. Nice way to ring in the new year!! Here's the photo's!! Beware, there are a gazillion
I wanna see the mountains in your eyes....

Right before take off. They also had no idea what kind of a trip lay ahead. They were all smiles at this point.
So I just took this tonight. Is she destined to be a math whizz? That is a calculator.
