BACK TO BETHLEHEM

Cousins together make a whole lot of trouble...and a whole lot of fun! Can everyone sing their favorite Christmas song together.

Grandpa Shaum has the right idea...catching a little cat nap before the party really begins...oh wait, it's almost over!! How can he sleep is such ciaos?

A fun Christmas story to get us in the mood to travel back to Bethlehem.

What's a Stucki party without food...not a Stucki party that's for sure. This year we traveled back to Bethlehem "breakfast style" and oh was it good!

Here is the family is their Bethlehem attire. Don't worry Natalie's here...she is just taking the pictures.

Grandma Angel (Shaum) and Ainsley.

This is Alysa on her first back to Bethlehem trip.

December 2004.

And this is Ainsley on her first back to Bethlehem trip. December 2008.

Ainsley Jayde...She is ready for all the excitement to begin.

Nothing beats camping as a family. As we sat around the campfire, Brauch and Alysa posed for the camera....then when Alysa asked Brauch what his hat said, Brauch realized it was advertising alcohol, so he threw it into the fire!

Ainsley and Mommy around the campfire.

Everything was great until we had a bear in our camp...I mean a mother moose and her baby. Talk about a freak out moment!!! Thank goodness for a brave daddy who dared get out of our tent!!

After waiting and waiting...she's finally here!

Alysa with her ear to the door. She is waiting to hear her baby sister's first cry...little does she know that mommy is just getting her epideral. She has a long time to wait.
