is for ADVENTURE!

Because with the Petersons, even the smallest plan can somehow turn into a HUGE adventure.

From cruises and Christmas chaos to birthday parties and everything still to come…

Adventure is basically the Peterson family’s middle name.

is for BIRTHDAYS!

From Lana’s 14th birthday to all the birthdays still to come, the Petersons know how to turn a simple celebration into something a little chaotic.

Because with this family…

even blowing out candles can become an adventure.

is for CHAOS!

If there’s one thing the Petersons are REALLY good at, it’s turning absolutely anything into chaos.

Cruises. Christmas. Birthdays. Even a normal day.

If the Petersons are there, chaos probably isn’t far behind.

is for DRAMA!

is for EMILY!

Emily is the mom of the Peterson family and somehow manages to survive all the craziness her family creates.

She’s caring, patient, and usually one of the only people trying to keep things under control.

Being the Petersons’ mom might just be the biggest adventure of all.

is for FAMILY!

At the end of the day, the Petersons are all about family.

They argue, laugh, embarrass each other, cause ridiculous problems, and sometimes drive each other completely crazy.

But no matter what happens…

the Petersons always stick together.

is for GRANDMA LURA & GRANDPA JOE!

Grandma Lura and Grandpa Joe brought plenty of laughs, love, and Christmas chaos to The Not-So-Merry Christmas.

From Grandpa Joe’s questionable decorating skills to Grandma Lura trying to keep everyone under control…

Christmas at their house was definitely one to remember.

is for HOME! 

No matter where the Petersons go—on a cruise, to Grandma Lura and Grandpa Joe’s, or somewhere completely new—there’s always one place they come back to.

Home is where the Peterson chaos begins.

is for INVESTIGATIONS!

If there’s something suspicious happening, you can probably count on Zoe to investigate it.

Fake Santas, secret plans, security cameras… nothing is safe.

Detective Zoe is ALWAYS on the case.

is for JOHN! 

John is the oldest Peterson kid—and somehow that means he gets dragged into everyone else’s problems.

He’s been on the adventures, survived Zoe’s chaos, dealt with his sisters, and even had a few embarrassing moments of his own.

But there’s still a LOT about John we haven’t seen yet…

His biggest stories might still be coming.

is for KIDS!

The Peterson kids are what make the adventures what they are!

John, Lina, Nellie, and Zoe all bring something completely different to the family—from the older-kid drama to the younger-kid chaos.

They may argue, embarrass each other, and cause problems everywhere they go…

but together, they’re the Peterson kids.

is for LANA & LINA!

Best friends, total opposites sometimes, and definitely one of the biggest duos in the Petersons stories.

From The Cruise to Christmas chaos and Lana’s birthday, these two have been through plenty together—and there’s still a LOT more to come.

Lana may be a Smith, but at this point, she’s basically an honorary Peterson.

is for MR. SPARKLES!

Zoe’s beloved stuffed unicorn has somehow become a legend in the Petersons universe.

He’s been lost, replaced, investigated, carried everywhere, and involved in drama despite literally being a stuffed animal.

And according to Zoe…

no Peterson adventure is complete without Mr. Sparkles.

is for NELLIE!

Nellie is funny, clever, and always ready to join the chaos—even when she knows it’s probably a terrible idea.

From The Cruise to becoming Zoe’s partner in the Snow Sisters, Nellie has had plenty of unforgettable moments.

But don’t get too comfortable…

Nellie still has a LOT more story left.

is for ORIGINAL!

It all started with one original Peterson adventure: The Cruise.

That first story introduced the family, the friendships, the personalities, and the chaos that would eventually become an entire series.

No matter how many adventures come next…

you can’t forget the OG.

is for PETERSONS!

Obviously! What ELSE could P possibly be?!

John, Lina, Nellie, Zoe, Emily, Jake, Grandma Lura, and Grandpa Joe make up the Peterson family—with Lana basically earning honorary Peterson status at this point.

They’re loud, funny, dramatic, unpredictable, and definitely not perfect.

But without the Petersons… there wouldn’t be any adventures at all!
