More Christmas Photos

I've had some more pictures to share, but forgot to get them up here. This was the second half of our holiday, with a Peterson Family Christmas party and a visit to Great-Grandpa & Grandma Young's.

We went to see Grandpa & Grandma Young the Saturday after New Year's since we didn't get to see them on Christmas. Grandma & Teddy were having fun playing with the clapper, noise-maker thingy that Aunt Shel bought us, and I helped Grandma open their gift.

Grandpa Peterson stayed with us for an overnight the Sunday after Christmas. He got to sleep in my room with me.

The Saturday following Christmas was the Peterson Family Christmas party at Grammie Peterson's house. We had a lot of fun packed into Grammie's place, watching movies, playing Wii, opening presents and of course, eating!

This is near the end of the day, but poor Teddy was so tired, he couldn't stay awake any longer. He fell asleep in Sarah's arms.

This might be why he was so tired. He was one popular kid!! He is easy to make laugh and smile...and therefore he brings lots of smiles to others!

We had a fantastic Christmas season this year and are already looking forward to next year with a new brother or sister!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

What a special way to celebrate Jesus's birthday! Christmas is such a fun time with loved one, giving gifts to show love, helping others who are in need and remembering the ultimate gift that God sent us in Jesus. We've had a great Christmas so far and wanted to share a few of our newly-made memories.

Heading to church on Wednesday night - to dashing young boys!

Christmas Eve at Papa's House with cousins, Cohen & Cooper and yummy popsicles!

Working backward through our Christmas morning...snacks before naptime!

I've got all the trucks from the Cars movie...Chick's truck came from Santa! They have to be lined up perfectly or I got a little bonkers!

Gram Gram and Papa Peters came over this morning. I made them laugh when I opened my gift, I said all excitedly "It's a BOX!!"

Teddy was tired out from all the excitement and had to put his feet up for a while.

Teddy's favorite gift was a music box with a little train that went around.

We got all sorts of new trains to add to our Thomas the Train collection.

Here is me with my new train, Murdoch.

Teddy got a train car with a shark inside!! He was pretty excited!

Last but not least, a little video of our Christmas morning!

Need I Say More...

...I'll just say "Have a Merry Christmas!" Love to you and your family, from Tyrus, Teddy and Mom and Dad too!

Fun in the Fall

There are lots of fun things to do in the Fall. This week, we got a taste of lots of them. Here is a quick run down...

First there was meeting our Grammie Peterson and Gram Gram Peters out for pizza. Teddy and I were being goofy brothers. Nothing like giving your little brother a kiss. Mom and Dad says God wants me to love my brother (as opposed to hitting him, pushing him, taking his toy away, etc.).

Here we are with our Grandmas!

Who knew pizza could be such fun!

Then there is jumping in the leaves! Daddy took us outside the other day and raked up a big pile for us to jump in. He actually jumped in it more than we did. Delia and Blossom jumped right on top of him.


Teddy jumped in with Daddy and they tried to bury themselves in leaves!

Then there is carving pumpkins! Grammie came over and we carved up a couple of the pumpkins from our garden this summer. I particularly liked fitting the top back on.

Teddy liked to scoop out all the insides.

The next super fun thing is Halloween! We went to Canisteo again this year and spent some time at Papa's house and at Great-Grandpa & Grandma Young. My Gram Gram Peters came to see us in our costumes. This year we were little Army Recruits...ready to report to boot camp!

October Celebrations

October sure is a fun month in our family. We have lots of birthdays to celebrate. This year, Mom Mom turned 30 and later this week, Daddy will be turning 40. Aunt Lou Lou and Karlie also celebrate their birthdays this month....and with birthdays come celebrations!

Last weekend, we celebrated with a fun family dinner at Uncle George and Aunt Lou Lou's house. Even Grandpa Peterson and Aunt Jean traveled from Albany to celebrate with us. Here is a photo of all of our beloved birthday-ers!


I particularly like birthday celebrations because it involved blowing our candles on a cake....something that I love to do, even when it is not my birthday!



This weekend, we had another celebration at Gram Gram Peters' house. Papa Papa, Aunt Shel Shel, Uncle Joe, Cohen and Cooper were all there. This picture isn't actually from this weekend, but is when Gram Gram came over to our house a couple of weeks ago and we took the opportunity to snuggle with her for a while.

Another thing that happens in October is lots of yardwork! Teddy has been trying to help Daddy keep up with some of it.

Perfect September Weekend

This past weekend was the perfect September weekend! Lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures, plus lots of fun activities with family and friends!

On Friday, we went to Canisteo to Great-Grandpa & Grandma Young's house to celebrate Grandpa's 87th birthday. Gram Gram Peters, Aunt Shel Shel, Cohen and Cooper were there too, along with my Grammie Peterson, who shares the same birthday as Grandpa (only the day, not the year!). We had a fun evening and Grandpa & Grandma sure enjoy watching us boys play around in their house. Here we are on the top of the staircase....


Here is Teddy with Grandpa. Teddy likes to perch on Grandpa's lap and watch all that is going on around him.

All of us great-grandsons helped Grandpa blow out the candles on his birthday cake after we sang "Happy Birthday" to him!

Mom made a pretty fun cake for Grandpa to celebrate the fantastic fisherman that he is!

On Saturday, we took part in a charity walk called Ryan's Road for CCA. Ryan is a friend of mine and he was born with some difference in his face and hands. His parents organize this walk to give to the Children's Craniofacial Association that supports and connects families who are dealing with these types of medical issues. This was our second year participating and it was a beautiful day to spend outside!

There were lots of baseball diamonds at the park so Daddy showed me how to run the bases! I really like to run!

Here is Teddy and I doing our walking!

I hope that you got to enjoy the beautiful weekend just like we did! Until next time...

Happy Birthday Grammie and Great-Grandpa Young!

Today is our Grammie Peterson's birthday. That makes it a really special day because she is a really special grandma. We love going over to Grammie's house like we did yesterday where she takes us to the playground, let's us watch the Disney channel and has a big tub of animal crackers always waiting in her pantry. So, with lots of love, we say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMIE!!

It is also our Great-Grandpa Young's 87th birthday today! We love going to see Grandpa Young, especially when we can visit at the lake and eat his yummy ribs! Love you Grandpa!
