Army Football with our cousins











We invited our cousins (Bob, Lorraine, Lauren and Nick) to West Point to enjoy the last home football game of the season. There was one major difference between this game and the last one...the weather! We were prepared though: we had sweatshirts, winter coats, hats and gloves...what we lacked were three kids willing to keep them on and zippered. :) We had an awesome time at the game, but I think we had as much fun looking at the fans as we did watching the football game (go globeheads!). Nathan was also quite entertaining, compliments of the 2 tubs of popcorn Bobby bought. Turns out he is a popcorn eating machine (we're blaming this on the Peterson genes). After the game we came back to the house for some chili. It was so great spending the day with the Ankoskos. :)

Alex's Birthday












The countdown started weeks ago...every morning Alex would check his calander to see how many days were left until Nov. 8th. The wait was agonizing! But finally, the magical day arrived. There were fireworks, clowns, ponies and cake. Well, there was at least cake. :) We celebrated at home on Thursday night, then had a party with his friends on Saturday. (Cake two times, how cool is that?) Alex is now officially six! Wow!
