Thanksgiving

We went up to Crescent Lake for Thanksgiving again this year.  As a bonus, my dad joined us too!  We missed my mom, Lindsay and John, but my mom was up with my grandma in Tacoma, Lindsay was in Georgia with a friend and John is in Qatar.  Feeling very thankful to have such a great family, even if they are strewn all over.  We celebrated with our friends the Boness' and the Torreys too.

SNOW!!

We had record snow last week (9inches in our backyard!), record temperatures (0 degrees one night) and record days that it stuck around (6 days, school was cancelled for 5 days!)!  Not sure if that is official, but it is in my memory bank.  We had SO much fun.  We didn't have a sled, but improvised and Peter loved it.

Run fast to stay warm!

Jake and I ran the EWEB Run to Stay Warm 10k this Sunday.  It was a blast!  Grandma and Grandpa watched Peter and then I even carried him across the finish line.  Peter is some serious weight training these days!  Our friend Carolyn and Dan Phelan were visiting from San Diego as well.  Such a great weekend.

14 month photo shoot

Peter is actually 15mo+ now, but our friend Ashley Rexius Reich took some awesome pictures of Peter when he was 14mo old.  My dad came to play "the clown" and help with smiles.  Check them out!
