Christmas 2009 #2

Christmas around the Petersen family goes something like this....Christmas Eve, re-inactment of the Christmas story,...always a huge hit! Many gifted vocalists and musicians caroling in the living room together. Lots of food and fun. Christmas morning...we arise after staying the night at Nana's and Papa's. Presents and brunch there, were we visit with everyone again. Then on to another house to eat and visit, finishing the festivities off at my Granma Pentacost's with more food, family, friends and fun. This year we picked up Christmas where it left off,....yep, on the 26th we celebrated more with John's family (forgot to take pics!). It was so fun getting to visit with Patrick, Aunt Jill, Uncle Roland and Bob, Suz and two of her friends :) No doubt, by the end, we are all cranky and exahusted, but it is so well worth the fun! On another note...it's great to have John here this Christmas! After 2 yrs of him being away!


Here are some of the other pictures from the holidays this year. Unfortunatly, the extended family picture was nothing but a big blurr. Below is the joy from the family after opening a big box of stuffed animals from Grandpa Dick and Grandma Phyllis.....except for Chloe, who was up past her bed time :) Isn't he the cutest raindeer you've ever seen?!

Breakin' in the toys! A new lego type project.

The biggest hit of all were these $5 Walmart swords. They make these awefull clanking sounds, that I'm still hearing around my house!

Chloe's fav gift....the movie Annie
