the stikas: Family Christmas Parties
http://thestikas.blogspot.com/2013/01/family-christmas-parties.html
Sunday, January 20, 2013. The family Christmas parties are my favorite traditions. Stika family Christmas is always held on Christmas eve. It is a laid back affair. The storm at the point of the Mt. almost kept us from it. The kids run upstairs to see the magical snow village, eat yummy food, and enjoy Grammy Pat's great talent of gift giving. Wonderful memories for years to come- on both sides. Thank you for being such a great hostess. February 5, 2013 at 2:44 PM. Oh I loved that Christmas party! Awesom...

Wednesday, January 8, 2014. The Christmas letter I never wrote. I did manage to send some Christmas cards but no letter included and since most of the year wasn't documented in the blog here are our updates:. Rowan loves cozy. This girl asks for snuggle time. She's quick to smile and says funniest things. "Double what! Ben turned two in October. He's a man a few words but they are quite effective. My favorite is when I tell him that I love him he just answers, "too". He can work his twinkle e...

Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Hey Mikey, he likes it! First time trying food.). If I hang close he loves the exersauser for a good 5-10 mins. Everything Row says right now is so adorable.

the stikas: Winter break Fun
http://thestikas.blogspot.com/2013/01/winter-break-fun.html
Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Josh made a great effort to make the week after Christmas special for the kids. I was pretty sick so it meant even more. He took the kids swimming several times, sledding, frosty runs, and when I felt a little better we ventured out for some local adventures. Breakfast at kneaders, aquarium, bowling, scheels, and movies. 2012 was a special year. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone. A brilliant and generous way to spend the school vacation.

Sunday, February 19, 2012. She twinkles. While watching a show, reading a story, running, dancing she is twinkling. Her whole face lights up when she smiles. I love how much enjoyment she takes in the little things.a silly fishy balloon stuck on the ceiling, being chased, thrown on the bed, taking a bath, have a story read, getting a treat. She doesn't love loud noise, jetted tubs, horn beeps, blenders, new people, having her teeth brushed. Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet girl. I love, love, love you! So the...

the stikas: Christmas Day
http://thestikas.blogspot.com/2013/01/christmas-day.html
Sunday, January 20, 2013. Morning of, Noah woke up Clara first to tell her Santa brought Rebecca (the American girl doll of her dreams) and then woke us to say he got a mountain bike with TWO shocks! Row getting on pajamas on Christmas eve. Ben loved his radio flyer. He can open the door, turn the music on, and cruise around. He's smiling now but pretty possessive one of the only thing he can call his own. The gloves and dirt bike shirt were a big hit too. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone.

Friday, March 16, 2012. Yes, I let them run around like little rag-a-muffins most of the time but they are still pretty cute to me. While josh was in hong kong. Beck came to play, more like work. I was supposed to be out visiting her, but alas, the trip was trumped for China. Kids were sick most of the week (like deep suctioned, breathing treatments etc). We did sneak in a few activities before we knew how sick they were. Clara did her first scripture in church, she was so brave! Tuesday, March 6, 2012.

the stikas: October 2011
http://thestikas.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 14, 2011. Noah turned six. I think because he's my oldest I am always looking at him as such a big boy. I recently looked back on other past birthday posts and kept thinking.he was so little, how did I think he was so big.I'm sure I'll do the same with this one. I adore this boy. If I am not in the same room with him every few minutes I get a call, "Mom, where are you? Bounce house of fun. Nice kids, yummy treats. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. I have always been too sensitive, I care far to ...

Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Rowan's first haircut was so fun. Clara was getting her pumped about it all day sharing all the perks of cookie cutters.movies, suckers, balloons, and sparkles in your hair. We left the length to enjoy those ringlet curls as long as we can. Clara opted for a shoulder length cut to help manage the pain of brushing those long tresses. Ben had fun too.

Monday, December 5, 2011. The eve of thanksgiving I spent baking with Lissy. Nothing like baking with your sis to make you feel a little piece of home for the holidays. I even did name places! Part of the prep team. Stika Family a new friend - Josh's crew. Thanksgiving morning I made the kids watch the Macy's day parade for a little bit and eat Chex mix (seemed more like a Broadway Review.would it hurt to show a marching band NBC? Some traditions must be past down. Sunday, December 4, 2011. The first sno...
