Then the Peterson's came to town...

Life can be full of surprises.

This year had some unpleasant surprises for us,

but it has compensated very much with very happy surprises too!

Like when some of our favorite cousins come to town!

Hannah and Colette

Ethan and Mitchell

Britta and Liam

Cora and little Matthew

Everyone has a pair!

(except for Parker, whose bunny ears for Colette and Hannah look more like "air quotations")

Breaking!

So what do you do when you haven't seen each other for a while?

Challenge to a lemon sucking contest!

Hannah wins!
