Christmas in COLORADO

This year we spent Christmas in Colorado with my family, the Stahleckers. I got to go for two weeks to vacation and spend time with all the family. Branson flew in on the 23rd and was able to stay a week. It was so fun to see everybody and spend time with family. My Mom and Dad, Jake and his kids, Shonn and Ticia and kids, Melissa and Heston and their girls, Nate and Monica and their boys, and our family. There were 23 of us! It was fun having Sidney there and she loved the time she got to have with her Grandma and Grandpa Colorado and all of her cousins! We feel so blesses to have such great families on both sides who are so loving and such good examples to us. We are so fortunate and feel so blessed to have the gospel in our lives, great families, a beautiful home, good friends, a great marriage, and of course... the best gift of all, SIDNEY!
