Happy Birthday Papa Ed!

  

Papa Frank came to visit and immediately gives gifts and starts taking pictures. :)

Sophie got a purse with a horse in it and Ethan got a football that lights up. 

They loved it!

  

Sophie warmed up to Papa right away. I was so excited for Dad to see Sophie and how she's grown. 

I think she looks like a Peterson and I'm proud that she has the same eyes and cheeks as me. :)

He's totally wrapped around her little finger.

He even lets her brush his hair.

even when it hurts.:) 

She's so easy going, loved to just sit with him.  

Auntie Lizzie came!!

Sisters.

She wanted to learn to make Purok, it was so fun to make it together.
