Family Fun Friday

After having a really fun Thursday with Grandma and Grandpa Petersen...the fun continued onto Friday!
We decided we'd try and cheer up by making our own orange juice for breakfast once we saw...
...my poor tulips and hyacinths covered in snow!
Grandma and Grandpa Petersen came over to play and go out to lunch. Grandpa also "attempted" to read Brayden's current favorite book to him, but apparently Grandpa didn't read it the way Brayden liked because they didn't make it very far!
After his nap, this was Brayden's reaction when I told him that Uncle Bruce, Aunt Beth, and Aunt Stephanie were coming over for dinner and to play! We went outside after dinner and blew bubbles, flew Brayden's kite, and played with some fun things Steph brought down from Rexburg.
Aunt Steph made a great dollar store find when she picked up this train bank for Brayden to paint!
The finished train...a work of art?
The painting of the train lead to the beginning of what I dubbed the "Petersen Preschool!" Everyone fingerpainted together!
Steph creating her masterpiece.
Bruce started out actually doing a picture before he joined in and created "randomness" with everyone else.
The little guy who started it all!
Beth's was very colorful and neat...compared to Stephanie's in the background! :)
After the cleanup, Brayden got situated in the love sac with his new dog hat (thanks Grandma and Grandpa!), his dog, and Brian's old blanket to watch 101 Dalmatians while the rest of us played games. What a fun day!!
