| We were both sad to say goodbye to Minnesota - I cried when we took off - and thinking of our leaving at the airport when I said say goodbye to Grandma and she started crying and ran to her yelling GRANDMA! So sweet. |
 |
| Luckily she did get some sleep on the plane like this - with her feet on my lap :) |
 |
| She sure was thrilled to see her Dada - LOTS of cuddles! |
She remembers EVERYONE from our trip too - and these awesome magnets from Joni are great fun for her to point out to me every day :)
