Cousin fun!!

 On Wednesday Grant and Brooke came over to spend the night for a time of fun for the cousins!! Earlier in the day we meet up with Nana to see The Muppets!!
 Cousin fun!
 This was Logan's first movie in the theater so I had to get a picture! He sat in his seat for about and hour or so. The last thirty minutes he played musical seats and watched the movie from the stairs. Overall I was pretty impressed!
 Grant decided we were too much and needed a nap! HAHA!!
 The kids were entertained by this box for a long time that day. They played and laughed so much!
 Logan having a snack.
