Taylor took her first plane ride on a trip to visit my family in Florida. She did a wonderful job and made great friends with the flight attendants which got Mommy and Daddy extra pretzels! :) This is our first day in Florida and we are all smiles.
We got to visit our dear friends the Ulrich's. This is their oldest son, Kellen, and he is being quite the gentlemen and helping to hold Baby Taylor up.
Then we also got to visit the Menards and this is their oldest son, Jake -- he sure did love Mr. Chris. Yes, both the Ulrichs and Menards have 2 sons each so Taylor is going to have quite her choice! :)
We tried to get a shot of all of the kids ... poor baby Jude is only 6 weeks old and he wasn't loving this experience!
This is Taylor's first experience in sand. It was quite chilly for Florida standards so she wasn't quite sure of the cold "stuff" below her feet.
She loves sitting her with Daddy though ....
Tutu does this to ever child ... a bow on their head. I can't count the number of pictures I have with a bow on my head! And the tradition continues ....
This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. Under the leopard print blanket (how did she get so lucky with that?!) is my great-grandmother Sydney Ann (Granny), then my grandmother Joan (Tutu), and to my left is my mom Terry (Grammy). That's five generations of Peters' women. Of course by this time Taylor was sick and as you can see can't breath out of her nose .... poor thing!

Taylor was done with pictures and the dress by this point...

On Christmas Eve, each of us got a new pair of pjs. I think that Taylor was more excited about taking a picture than the present -- she is becoming quite the ham in front of the camera.

Just as I had been warned she enjoyed the wrapping paper and tissue paper more than the gifts themselves.
On the day after Christmas we celebrated with Chris' family. The photographer (Chris) was pretty sick so unfortunately we don't have too many pictures from that celebration.
I couldn't resist putting this one in. She was helping me in the kitchen preparing dinner when somehow she threw her elephant on her shoulder and kept making these "cheesy" grins. Like I said, quite the ham!
