Wanted for making beautiful Music- The Peterson Family

On Sunday, I had so much fun with the Peterson family taking some family photos. It was cold and snowy but I think that just added to the 'charm' of the pictures (except for the cold part).  I wish my pictures could actually play the beautiful music they played while I shot the pictures.

 One of North Dakota's most talented musical families.

 Too cute for words.

Mom, it won't be long till they're all grown up!

Busted!! This should be on a Wanted poster! Wanted for beautiful music!! And no, the police didn't run them out, actually it was a lovely concert of Jingle Bells.  Like caroling with instruments. Awesome!

More Thanksgiving 2011

On Friday, Sarah and Tyson wanted to ride horse. Sarah had been thrown off two years ago on Thanksgiving and has been kind of fearful ever sense. So on Friday she worked on conquering her fears, and being a good cowgirl and getting back on the horse.  Tyson wouldn't let her get off till she started feeling more relaxed and let go of the fear.

Go Cowgirl Sarah!!

 I think Sarah about this time, was begging to get off, but Tyson made her stick to it and she did, and conquered the fear! Way to go girl!!!

Sweet little Kadence taking a nap with her bunny and Blankie that I gave her.  My dear friend Laura gave me the little bunny to give to Kadence and I wanted Laura to see how much she loves it. Sarah says she often snuggles with it while going to sleep. Thanks Laura for such a sweet thoughtful gift for our precious little girl.

Gramma playing with Kadence

What does a Grandma do when she's left alone to babysit while mom and dad go to Starbucks?  What else, pull out the camera, and take some pictures.  

 The next ballerina star.

 Four months and standing! Well, sort of, Grandma has her ways of making it all able happen.

 The next sugar plum fairy.

 Kadence in her Auntie Kristi's 1st Christmas dress. It was pretty big on Kade, cause Kristi was 5 months older on her 1st Christmas. The white lace on the dress was from my wedding dress. Every little girl should have a red velvet dress at some point in her life for Christmas.

 Beautiful Blue eyes

Sweet little Kadence.  Gramma loves you so much.

A Kadence Thanksgiving

There is nothing more joyful than having a little one around. We have so enjoyed having Kadence here for Thanksgiving, and so glad she brought her mom and dad with too. :-)

Here are a couple of pictures of our Thanksgiving Day, and yes, a great amount of the pictures were of Kadence.

 Gramma Kelley and Kadence. Lovin' my little girl hugs!

 Uncle Phil had so much fun with Kadence, and she seemed to really like the baby in the mirror. 

 Kristi had to tell her all about Star Trek and of course teacher her how to read.

 The cutest baby in the whole world.

Uncle Phil had her giggling like crazy.

She loves her little play yard. Her legs were a kicking and arms going for almost a half hour squealing at the toys.
