Holiday Happenings continued....

I didn't have a chance to finish are holiday happenings in my last post ,so here's a few more fun things we did.

We had a wonderful Christmas . You gotta love the matching P.j.s , a gift from Unckie Brent!=)
We had a blast sledding the day after Christmas up in Sandy with Family!


We also last minute decided to go to California for New years! Unfortunately we were having to much fun and I didnt take any good pictures.=( The holidays were fun but I am glad to be back on a normal routine again with the kids.Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Well needless to say,the holidays have kept me busy and I havent had a chance to post in a while. So here is a few happenings in december.=) As a family we attended Madelyn's Preschool Christmas Program at the Riverton Civic Center.Here she is with her good friend Cooper. Grandpa Peterson was able to attend with us and thought Maddie did a wonderful job.Maddie loves to sing and does a really good job at it!=)On Christmas Eve we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's for a traditional Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Program. We only had less than half the Peterson Clan there this year.We missed those who were not there,but understand they couldn't make it this year and hopefully we can all be together sometime soon.We had a wonderful Christmas! We love watching the kids get excited about there gifts,its funner than getting gifts ourselves. We had a wonderful special gift this Christmas-Grandma Dastrup spent Christmas with us and we loved every minute of it!
