So it's been awhile since I've been able to post anything on here. For weeks it kept telling me I needed to pay monthly to upload photos to my blog, which I refuse to do. I randomly got on today, just to see what happened, and it's now back to normal. YEA! Anyway, we've had a wonderful Christmas season that we kicked off with our annual day after Thanksgiving trip to Dull's Tree Farm. This year Justin's Parents and his sister Becca joined us for a freezing cold day picking out our tree. We then had Christmas with my dad and Kathy at our house, followed a few days later by Christmas with my mom at our house, then off we went to Wisconsin for some Peterson family fun.
