Utah for Christmas, with all 22 members of the Joel Peterson clan. Quite the gathering. Though that was the highlight, the skiing was a close second, with the Wii not far behind. Good times.
The view on Christmas morning. Not bad.
Dumping snow, here on the driveway
Family picture time, here the grandparents with the grandkids
And here are the siblings (no mudbloods)
Sunday lunch
Sugar cookies
Dressing up for the obligatory nativity enactment (I'm the innkeeper)
Angels
Away in a manger
Playing lightning on Christmas morning
Some great surprises on Christmas morning
Including for papa Joel
The best Christmas gift of all - new mommy Leah and new baby Lorraine
Why do we love puzzles so much?
The Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Totally engrossing (love the open mouths)
Even the wife got into it, tho sometimes she'd multitask, like here
Poor pops drove OFF the driveway at the cabin, and had to escape via the sunroof. Here he is on the other side of the ordeal, smiling

Blast! I wish I had known you were in Utah for Christmas. Chris, Kip and I were there, too! I would have loved to see you, but oh well. I can't believe Leah is a mom. Tell her congrats for me =)
Diana,
I found your blog link on the new Jerusalem website. Hope you dont mind- I'm in the middle of reading about your epic journey! What an amazing trip.
I've thought of you often and have always wondered where you were and what you were doing. I'm glad to have a way to see what you're up to! Hope you're well.
