Christmas 2009!

We had a great Christmas celebration in Bismarck this year! We spent all our time with family and friends, bouncing between houses despite the enormous storm and large amounts of snow. You can see all the fun in the pictures on Picasa, link to the right. Here's some teasers...

Fun games at Grandma and Grandpa Petersons!


Hanging out with Great Grandma and Grandpa and their dog Tug.



Miranda got lots of hugs and kisses from everyone...Grandpa Ed gave double doses!


She really liked the whole trip to the mall to visit Santa, and seeing all the other kids, and all the pretty decorations...however, didn't like Santa himself one bit! She does like Santa's alter-ego Pastor Kermit under normal circumstances.


Lots of Family Fun with Peterson's and Vetter's!




We had four Christmas celebrations all together. Immediate Peterson family (with Scott, Lisa & Alice joining via Skype), Extended Peterson-Westgard family, immediate Vetter family, and Extended Vetter family! All four were super fun, full of toys and cute clothes, and marked with laughs and hugs and love (and of course tons of food!)

Miranda gave us a great gift in taking her first unassisted walking steps on our last day in Bismarck. We're working on the video...but there are some glitches, so it may be a little while. I'm sure she'll be a professional walking girl before I'm able to get that posted. Sorry!

I agree it was a wonderful Christmas....sometimes it is not so bad being stuck in the house because of a storm. Downfall was colds by many and poor Miranda had it the worst but we still got many smiles and lots of love. What a trooper.
