Lilyana's letter to Santa

Thanksgiving~Peterson's

The whole Peterson family got together for Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful time. Ellyson and Lilyana broke the wishbone and Ellyson got the big end! We took time to go around the table to say what we were thankful for, we were all thankful for our faith, health, family, and good food! Lilyana was thankful for presents! :)Gavyn also turned 8 months old on Thanksgiving Day! We cannot believe that he is now closer to being a uone year old than a newborn! And congrats to TJ for passing his firefighters exam and becoming 1st on the lieutenant's list! We are all so proud of you- what a great accomplishment!

Enjoying the Fire

Lilyana asks Daddy almost every night if we can have a fire. She loves to help him get the wood, put paper in and start it up! She sits next to the fire and loves how it feels so warm on her back. Gavyn enjoys taking it all in as well.

Pulling myself up on everything!

Gavyn has learned that he can stand up in his crib. Mike had to lower the mattress to the lowest setting immediately! 8 months old- and as you can see from his gummy smile no teeth yet!

Happy Halloween!!

Lilyana dressed up this year as a lady bug and Gavyn as a bumblebee. Lilyana thought it was the coolest thing that she could get candy at everyone's house by just saying Trick or Treat! It was a beautiful day out and we had a great time.

Lilyana's 1st Day of Pre School!

Lilyana is attending her first year of school at Saukville Pre School. Her 1st day of school was August 31st. She is going two days a week for a few hours and absolutely loves it! She is the youngest in her class with most kids already 3 and some turning 4 but she is doing great! She communicates so well with all the other children and really enjoys her teacher Ms. Melissa. We are so happy she is in a structured setting a few hours a week. What a big girl our little baby is!!
