Happy New Year, 2014!

We actually took pizza to my parent's house this year because we had started the demolition of our kitchen.
At first, we didn't think we'd make it until midnight...
 Especially Steve, Here he was at 7:15!
Sound asleep!
We hung out...



Sherry gave out haircuts...
This is how my Great Grandpa Erastus wore his hair...
Tyler looked just like him...It was funny!
 Here he is looking much better for the new year!
We played games...
I think Shelly & Tyler were winning!
Zack was pretty serious about his checkers match with Tyler.
Sophie watched, Doc McStuffins...
 The girls hung out...
 Then it was finally midnight...
 
It was officially the year 2014!
Grandma yelled out the window to all the kids, when the clock struck 12:00!
 We celebrated with sparklers...
 Zack was the first one to get them lit up!
 Shelly...
 Sophie was even awake...
 Libby looking good in her "party" hat...
Tyler with his sparkler...
 All the kids...
 Sherry is one talented gal...She made us all hats out of the newspaper!
 Steve joined the party...
With his own kind of party hat!
 
Sophie's was a little too big...
 
She made it work!
 I love these kids...
 
 They are excited for a new year!
 Welcome 2014!!

Peterson Christmas Party 2013

This year we went to Grandma & Grandpa's house for breakfast.
I only got a few pictures, but the kids had a lot of fun decorating gingerbread cookies.
At first, Sophie wasn't sure what to do...

Then she decided to take a bite!!

Libby joined in on the fun...

 Then Zack....
 And finally, Tyler...
They turned out cute!
 Sophie was so proud of hers...
 Zack loved his too...
 Well, Maybe?
Tyler's turned into a cute little man...
 Thanks Grandma!
 The kids had fun!

Christmas Afternoon...

After presents & breakfast Grandma & Grandpa Peterson came by to visit.
We had a nice time together & the kids played their Christmas songs on the piano for them.
You can hear their songs here:
Libby...
She played, "Where Are You Christmas?"

Zack...
He played, "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree!"

Then we got ready and headed to my parent's house for Norwegian pancakes & presents.
 My mom is amazing!  I don't know how she does it all!
 She had a little "help" from Scott this year!
Here are a few more pictures...
 Jazzy & Libby
 Shane & Scott
Amy & Brooklyn
 Shelly & "Doc McStuffins"

A few "gamers"...
 Bailey & Josh
 Mitchell, Jacob & Dallin
Grandpa & Sophie
 Tyler & Zack
Grandma & Grandpa know how to spoil everyone...
Sophie LOVED Christmas this year!
 Cute Zack!
Sherry gave my mom this beautiful Tinkerbell figurine...
 It got broken soon after she opened it, but Scott was able to glue her back together!
 That's love right there!
 Me & Sherry
It was another great Christmas, I can't believe & it came & went so fast this year!
Merry Christmas!!
