Christmas Day!

Christmas morning started with Elaina waking up at 3...not from excitement but I think because her stomach was upset from all the spicy Mexican she ate the night before! So she and I watched tv and read in the basement until Skylar woke up. Then we got up Jon and let the kids see the tree...

Elaina getting her first look at the presents.


Skylar spies the kitchen set.


This was a big hit!!

Elaina loved her art table (she always asks for "colors" when she wants to draw).

Opening her bassinet for her doll.

Big girl undies, Elmo of course, to go with the potty she got. We are just introducing it for her (Skylar is NOT ready!). But she seems to like to sit on it but doesn't quite get the idea of actually going on it.

We finally got him away from the kitchen to open another present...his cash register!

Lots of buttons, sounds, and a drawer that pops out...cool!!

Unfortunately, this is pretty common when one tries to use the art table.

Our little music girl

The Christmas card picture we finally got!!

Then they moved to Elaina's room to rock in the chair.

Giving hugs:)

Checking out the snow we got Christmas morning...yay, a White Christmas!

Tired from opening presents she decided to rest on the floor with Vaughn.

My mom got pictures of the three grandchildren painted from photos we had. They turned out GREAT!

Pretty girl drawing on her Etch and Sketch (looking cute but refusing to wear tights and shoes)


Of course we have a picture of him on the ground:)

Thanks to the Grandmas, Jon and I got to eat.

Jon and Olivia

At home with me during my winter break, Elaina and I had a tea party.

She loves to try to fit into small boxes and here, the wagon. Luckily she is so small that she usually does fit!

Wild Man!!

Pedersen Family Reunion

I am very behind in posting pictures...and we have had a lot going on the past few weeks! For Father's Day weekend, Jon's brother, Chris, and sister, Liz, and their families decided to come in from Colorado to surprise their dad. Liz and family stayed with us and we loved spending time with them and letting the cousins play together. The big cousins were AMAZING with the twins!! We spent time at the pool and just relaxing at home, in addition to the surprise party for Grandpa P and we also threw an impromptu BBQ for the whole family the night before everyone left. It was great having the whole family together!
PS Thanks to Liz for most of these pictures!!

The entire Pedersen clan!


Rebecca, Caroline, Elaina, Grandma P, and Owen


Elaina and Grandpa P

Skylar was loving the attention he got at the end of the party when he stood up and down. Such a ham!

The Father's Day gift to Grandpa (and Grandma) and a portrait of all the cousins. They all look happy in this one!


Then all the families got individual pics of the kids. Skylar and Elaina were done being photographed!

Caroline and Julie...she was just born when Jon and I started dating!

WALKING!!

Caroline and Elaina


We never had to hold our kids as you can tell. Here is Claire with Elaina.

Always finding something to tinker with it seems.

Hanging out at the pool, our favorite place to be in the summer!


Caroline and Skylar


Elaina and Claire

Skylar loves the area called Bucket Falls with all the water being dumped...no fear whatsoever!!


Waiting to get dumped on!
