Thawing Out

This weekend we flew to Minnesota to celebrate Hadley's Great Grandmother's 90th birthday!

Cheese cubes, milk, books, flashcards, barf bag used to play peek-a-boo, and a free upgraded seat of her own...life is good!

Dinnertime with Papa

It's a Princess!! And 3 other ladies in fur coats ;)

Best seat in the house!

Checking out the cuties in uniform

Had's cousin Rachelle came to the window to say HI! We're not sure why anyone preferred to watch the parade from outside.

Had's Great Aunt Patty also preferred the cold, and brought over some parade participants to wave to Had.

I mean, do you SEE what these people are wearing!? It was -9 degrees at one point.

But because we're no sissies, we threw on our leg warmers and prepared to brave the elements.

Putting on our brave faces

Hadley looks REALLY pleased to be sitting on a throne of ice.

Proof of who was behind this stunt ;)

But then we had to get in on the action too...can't go all the way up there and not sit on some ice.

Birthday Party time!!

One quick wardrobe change later and Had was back at the party and posing with her Great Aunt Jeanne and her cousin Sarah

Ok guys, take me to bed already!

Then it was off to the airport to head on home...
