Relaxing New Year

I want to wish everyone a very happy new year from the Knuppel’s.   2009 should be both a great and challenging year.  Hope you and your families had a wonderful New Year’s eve.  I know we did.
Our’s was pretty uneventful.  Drew and Alyssa went out and spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Peterson’s house.  [...]

Christmas is finally over

We had our last 2 Christmas gatherings finally.  On Saturday we met at the Kowerko’s in Bloomington for the Peterson side of Christmas.  Was a great time.  Food, movies and some presents.  The kids had a fun time chasing each other through the basement and doing what kids do.  The adults did a “gift card [...]

Knuppel and Meeker Christmas

Three more down.  Two to go.  We enjoyed the “Knuppel Christmas” out at my mom and dad’s on Christmas Eve.  We traveled out to Manito in the morning and stayed all day.  Enjoyed a brunch of some of my favorite foods (mom makes that great coffee cake every Xmas).  The kids were just itching to [...]

Your Christmas Card

Consider this post your Christmas Card.  We decided not to send out Christmas cards this year for several reasons.  1) to save some money.  2) we lost nearly everyones address thanks to Yahoo losing them.  3) Email and website posting is just easier.
So we want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from [...]

First Christmas in the books

The first of like 6 Christmas get togethers is in the books.  We had the immediate Peterson Christmas on Sunday.  The family all met for Church and then went out to Steve and Darla’s for lunch and fun.  It was awesome because we just did pizza, chicken and other appetizer stuff.  Lots and lots of [...]

Meet Santa Claus

Our kids made the trip to the mall with Sarah to visit “Santa Claus”.  As you can tell, Alyssa wasn’t much for Santa.  She’s scared of anything dressed up in a costume these days.  Haha.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had quite the busy (and fun) Thanksgiving 4 day weekend.  On Thursday we went out to the Meeker’s house for a big Thansgiving meal. Spent most of the day out there watching football, eating, shooting hoops, playing with kids.  The normal TGiving activities.  Horrible NFL games on and I hope they ban the Lions [...]

Halloween 2008

I’ll combine Halloween into one giant post this year.  We had our annual Peterson pumpkin carving get together a few weekends before Halloween.  Which pumpkin wins?  (see images below).  Drew also had a little school party for Halloween which he loved.  Our Halloween was pretty sucky this year.  Alyssa was sick and Drew wasn’t feeling [...]

Knuppel Pumpkin Babies

Check this out.  Sarah has always taken a picture before the kids first Halloween in a pumpkin diaper.  I’ve put the 3 pictures together.  It is almost frightening how similar Drew and Bryce look.  Enjoy!
