 Tessa's unproportional body.

 When the Berchtold's get snowed it, the games come out.

 Elevator rides at the hotel for Uncle Tom's visitation and funeral. It was a beautiful service.

 The drive to the cemetery was so beautiful and peaceful.

 Valentine's dinner with Holly at the airport. So classy.

 Made it through the sketchy parking lot at their airport and a flight that didn't leave on time. We were sure ready for the Phoenix sun, even though we were only there for a few days. It was worth the warmth.

 I kind of figured out that I'm starting to become a morning person when an alarm isn't the thing that wakes me up. Sunday morning I was up before my alarm so the extra time spent outside and in God's word was much needed and appreciated. Plus this was my view.

 Kourtney Stahl, Kristin Knochel(Who we stayed with. Such a fun and sweet girl), Holly, and Me

 And just like that the weekend was over. Thankful for my traveling buddy and best friend. Who knows where our next adventure will take us:)

 I was walking through the mall, and saw this robin. It gave me so much hope that Spring is right around the corner. I've caught a slight case of the winter blues.

 On Sunday, we celebrated Cassie's birthday. We went ice skating and then to Sweet Cece's.

 Holly said my room was a disaster(ok maybe it was) so she felt the need to clean it for me. Things she told me: I have too many clothes. I have no variety in my closet. I need more colors and patterns other than stripes. What can I say? I'm a creature of habit. And dark colors are my favorite.

 The sisters who went ice skating. Claire sat out for a lot of the time, because ice skating is not a strong point for her. The most athletic one in our family can't stay up on the ice. At least it made me feel like maybe I have a little piece of athleticism in me(wishful thinking). Cassie did good and Tessa was just learning. Lots of falling for her, but eventually she sort of got the hang of it(which means she basically would just run with ice skates on. haha)

 Holly was an honorary guest of the Berchtold family on Sunday. Actually my cousin Marissa was also here to help celebrate Cassie's birthday, we just didn't get a picture with her.

 Claire and the Birthday girl. We officially have another teenager in the house.

 Skyping with Tress on Sunday night.

My room apparently was the hang out place on Sunday night. What a fun night:)
