Festivities


We love the Christmas season & try to cram in as many activities as possible to celebrate it. We cut down our tree, put up lights, make cookies, watch Christmas movies, go to Peacock lane, Zoolights, tree lighting cermonies, Christmas plays, concerts & parties. Here are a few shots from some of our adventures.

A Black Butte Thanksgiving



We had a blast this Thanksgiving. Not only did we have our new little one to celebrate with, but we got to spend 5 days at Black Butte Ranch with the Peterson side of the family. Jake's parents rented a house where  Jake, I, Ellie, Whitney, Matt, Megan, Rory, Lori, Carrie, and Grant all stayed. His grandparents rented another house nearby for them and Jake's aunt Sue to stay in. We hung out for the long weekend: eating really well, playing ping pong & board games, hot tubbing, chatting by the fire, going on walks, and enjoying the time together.

Ellie: 1 month

Time flew by with our sweet little girl and she turned one month old. The first month was a joy and a blur. She is still the sweetest, easiest baby. Sleeps awesome, started smiling, getting some neck and leg rolls. We are so in love!
