SOME NOVEMBER AWESOMENESS

First of all i must apologize to anyone who i used to make fun of for not updating their blog, not sure where my months go but it seems like a 'once a month' update is all i can do lately! haha. November was a fantastic month FULL of lots of fantastic things. Here are a few Highlights!!

PUTTING UP THE LIGHTS


While Craig was putting up the Christmas lights in seriously freezing temperatures, B wanted to get on the roof with him. So, sweet uncle Cory volunteered to sit with B on the roof while craig put up the lights. I felt sorry for all three of them, it was FREEZING!!!

BABY JANAE CAME HOME

Jared and Caitlin's baby finally came home from the hospital!! She is so great. B absolutely loves her and wants nothing more than to help feed her bottles! this was B's first time helping Janae eat and she loved every minute of it. So glad to have Janae home safe and healthy!

FIRST SERIOUS SNOWSTORM

What a week for my parents to decide to come visit! Over thanksgiving week we got a few HUGE snowstorms, one with like 14 inches! B LOVED getting all dressed up to play outside, i was grateful that her snowpants from last year still fit! SWEET! We had a blast playing and shoveling!

B helping Craig..she loves to help him do EVERYTHING!

Takin' a Break....

One of B's favorite activities of the day....standing under the tree limbs Craig was cleaning off...not sure how this translated to fun but she thought it was the greatest thing ever!

Post 'tree cleaning'...

TURKEY DAY!!
This was the first time i have had thanksgiving with my parents in 11 years!! And it was teh first year i cooked a thanksgiving dinner at my house. I loved both! we had a great day of football and turkey and family!! Loved every minute...

B sporting her AWESOME turkey hat that her nursery leaders at church made for her!!

A side profile of 'awesome turkey hat'...

b loves to help my mom in the kitchen. Two of my favorite people making pies together ;)

Grandma teaching b the art of 'making pretty pie crust'.....

Dad and Craig manning the BBQ on a nice bed of ice!! The turkey on the BBQ is a Peterson tradition, and it is GOOD!

B helping Pa Pete...

This is at the actual thanksgiving dinner. My dog...putting on her best 'i never get fed...PLEASE give me a little of whatever is on that plate!!" she pretty much walked around the table giving her best sad eyes to get scraps...crazy mut....

BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING
i am NOT a black friday shopper. We decided to head to Tai Pan, a home decor store that afternoon thinking that NOBODY would be there. Boy were we WRONG!! It was crazy, AND, somehow we got my dad and craig and cory to come with. They were TOTAL champs. I made it out alive without spending a dime surprisingly!!

Santa was passing out candy canes...B was super excited to see him!

Tender Pictures with Santa...definitely B's highlight of our crazy trip to Tai pan Trading!

JANAE'S BABY BLESSING

A Picture of the whole crew, minus B who was taking a much needed nap! Jared and Caitlin blessed janae this weekend so the whole family could be here together. It was awesome to be able to participate in it and we loved having family around for the week! So grateful for the season and all that we are blessed with as a family!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
