Minnesota Visit Jan 2016

I don't know what we were thinking, but Anora and I booked a plane ticket back to Minnesota in the dead of winter!  It did not disappoint, with sub zero weather and snow.  We were warmed by all the family and friends we got to see while back in the mid-west.  It was nice to spend lots of time with Gammy & Grandpa.  Anora liked playing a game of circling up and down the stairs in the house while Grandpa looked for her.  She liked sitting by the fire eating dinner one night, and watching the Vikings v Seahawks game. 

 Walking and playing in the snow was also a highlight.  Gammy helped her build a snowman!

Anora was spoiled by Gammy and got to do Build a Bear.  She made an Elsa bear.  She loves it.  I can hear the "let it go" music playing as I type this.  Not only did Anora get Elsa bear, she also won a bear from the claw machine that she named Lexi Bear after cousin Lexi.

 She got to play with some sweet toys at Peicks house, including this fun drum set.

 Anora loved seeing all her cousins and playing with the big kids!

 Anora got to spend a whole day with both sets of Grandparents!  She was in heaven!

G-ma & G-pa drove all the way from Madison to see her and spend the day! 

 One morning we went over to Choo Choo Bobs Train store.  Lots of kids running around to watch, and trains to push!

 We even made it to Owatonna to watch Laken's hockey game, and eat popcorn!

 On the last morning we caught brunch with Gammy, Grandpa & Uncle Mike.  We shared that huge cinnamon roll between all 5 of us!

Then Anora and I took off on the airplane and flew back home.  All and all she did pretty good.  She was tired and I was hoping she would fall asleep.  Well, she did, right as the wheels of the plane touched the ground...convenient.  Fortunately there was a nice woman next to me who helped me carry all my stuff while I carried my sleeping babe.  We missed Papa, but had such a fun time seeing everyone.  Until next time!!  xo
