Christmas Cookie Exchange

I would love to have as many old and new friends as possible come and enjoy this night with us. Bring someone and let's make it a really fun night.

Happy Birthday, Mom.

Today, I was flipping through the Thanksgiving catalogue from Williams Sonoma and I thought of you. You would have loved the little pumpkin soup bowls. I would love to be able to give them to you. Happy birthday, Mom. I love you more than ever.

October in Pictures-

This has been such a fun month. It always is. There is something about the first day that I wake up and it really feels like Fall outside. It energizes me and causes me to run down a list of all of the things that I want to get in before Halloween:

trip to the cabin *
family Halloween party *





Snepf Farms *
Boo-ing friends *






Fall baking *
Trunk or Treat *
school parties *





Halloween Night! *

Looks like it is mission accomplished. Now, onto the next holiday.


Here are all of the Peterson cousins at Trunk or Treat.
