Post Christmas/New Years/Grandma & Grandpa fun

Amber turns 8 months old--end of December

Grandma and Grandpa Peterson got to come visit during the week after Christmas. 

 Playing games on New Years Eve

 Brett was funny during this game.  When it is your turn you don't know what thing is on your headband so you have to ask yes or no questions to the other players to find out.  After a few questions Brett would get exasperated and tell you what you were.

 I've wanted to get a picture like this since school started.  Still can't believe she is in middle school! 

 A trip to California isn't complete without a trip to the beach.

 We got to use all our fancy beach gear from Grandma and Grandpa Salisbury.

 Brett loves flying a little mini kite

Christmas 2013

                               I really did try to be selective.  There are lots of pictures!  (Traci notice the "quality" of some of these.)

Pre-stocking lineup.  I like that there are stairs to corral them on for a picture before we tear into everything.

 Isaac made foam swords for Ryan and Brett

 Brett was funny and found an empty bookshelf spot to stash his presents after he opened each one

 Brett loves kitties and doggies right now and Nicole gave him one of her old (but still nice) kitties.  He LOVED it.
