MN trip 2013

Our first trip to Minnesota as a family of five went off without a hitch.  The girls didn't make a peep on the plane.  Even Molly was able to take two short naps. The main purpose for our visit was because we were asked to become Sofia's (Jake's sister Renee's newest addition to their family)Godparents.  We were truly honored and couldn't wait to meet her and our other newest nephew Jason (Jake's brother Paul's first baby).  Not to mention that a lot of people on Jake's side of the family had never met or held Molly.  We had a great time hanging out with family and friends.  Auntie Renee, had everything we needed to make our stay easy and comfortable.  I couldn't thank her enough.
On Sat. we all went bowling and met up with family and Jake's best friend from High school Brent and his family.  Ella and Bridgette were great little bowlers. Then we went for frozen yogurt, Val's french fries, a visit to Paul and Lindsey's and Culver's for deep fried cheese curds.  What a perfect day!

Molly fell asleep in Uncle Luke's arms.

 Friends Joy and her daughter Mercedes- Ella and Mercedes were in competition the whole time to beat each other in bowling.  Ella won the first game and Mercedes won the second.

 It's hard to get a good picture of all 4 kids.

 The girls don't get a lot of opportunities to play in the snow and thanks to Auntie Renee, she saved some of the boys snow gear from when they were young.  Some was a little big but the girls were troopers and put it on and played in the snow with their boy cousins.

More to come with Sofia's baptism pictures....
