February

February is a MAJOR month at our house!

We have our anniversary on the 8th,

my birthday on the 14th,

Mady's birthday on the 18th

and last but definitely not least, Alivia's birthday on the 28th!

It is crazy but it is so fun!

To keep the parties to a minimum, I decided to throw a combined party with all of our family this year to celebrate the girls' birthdays. Then they each got to have their own friend party.

Merry Go Round

Christmas!

Christmas went by so fast this year and was a lot of fun! I am always sad when Christmas time is over. So much fun spent with family and friends :)

Christmas Eve

New Christmas PJs!

Dressed up as Mary for a little Nativity story

CHRISTMAS MORNING

December

December was a fun, busy month!

Sometimes my girls can be so sweet to each other! They are either worst enemies or the best of friends :) I like to think that they are best friends more often than they are enemies...

My girls at our ward Christmas Party, waiting for the program to begin.

Mady was a little excited :)

Playing in the rain

We went up to Sedona one day with Ian and his dad. They were working on a house up there and we thought it would be a quick job and then we could play in the snow the rest of the day... wrong! It was a lot longer of a job than expected, and it took all day. So when it was all done, we took the girls to play in the snow!... at night.... on the side of the road... in the truck's headlights... i was quite comical! Oh well, it's not like they knew the difference of that and a REAL day of playing in the snow, right? :)

Alivia slept through the whole thing, but Mady had fun!

She was so cold she couldn't even smile!

Went on a couple of sled rides down a little hill... talk about scary! "Here, take my baby on a sled with you and head into the darkness down that hill! I'm sure it will turn out great!" Ha ha :) Everyone was just fine.

We went to see Zoo lights for the first time this year. We had a free ticket for one of us so we only had to pay like $10 for all 4 of us to get in, so we thought, why not?

It was fun, but I would not waste my time on it if I had to pay full price :)

We let Mady ride the camel at the zoo and she was so excited! Sadly, her favorite part was when the camel started peeing... she could not stop laughing. Here she is before her ride trying her best to look excited, but really mostly just freezin her little buns off!

November

Not too many pictures taken in November last year!

Most of the Peterson cousins playing on Grandma Peterson's bookshelves after Sunday dinner.... this may or may not have been my husband's idea.....

One night as we were getting ready to leave my parent's house Mady said she was going to wait for us by the truck. We came out one minute later to find this!


I don't even remember what this was all over her face... but this is a regular occurence with this one!
