4th of July!

4th of July is my one of my favorite holidays! The tradtions that the Staheli family have are the best! I am so glad that I was lucky enough to be born into the Staheli family! I wouldn't want any other!! Every third of July, the whole Staheli family and friends get together to have a huge dinner!! We all meet up at aunt Nancy's house for the dinner and then we let the fun begin! Before dinner we have a huge parade on Staheli hill with all the kids! It's so cute to see all the decorated bikes and kids! After the parade we all get our lawn chairs and the aunts put on a cute little presentation to remind us of how we got our independence and how lucky we are. Then dinner is served! After dinner we gather up all the fireworks and set them off! This years I missed the fireworks because I went with my dad to get his pink bus to take everyone to denny's at midnight and to take the kids to "VAN'S" house!! (We fit 44 people in a 20 seater bus!!! After we're all pooped (at about 2 in the morning) everyone grabs their sleeping bags and heads out to the lawn and falls asleep! Then at 7 in the morning everyone gets up to go play softball at the Staheli farms! Here are a couple of pictures from that 4th of July! I didn't have my camera the whole time and I'm really sad!!

This year we had a really good turn out!! I loved every minute of it!!
