Minnesota...and finally snow!

We spent the last week of our furlough in Minneapolis with my brother and his family.  We had a wonderful time with them, and enjoyed all the fun things they had planned for us to do.  Probably the most special part of our visit was getting to know our new nephew/cousin Colton Ray.  He is the cutest laid-back baby you could imagine with the most kissable cheeks!  Dan and Kate were wonderful hosts and absolutely spoiled us with fun trips to the Mall of America, Eagles Nest, fun lunches out, a date night for John and I, and bowling!  We also had time to just relax and hang-out too which was great.  Thanks for everything Dan and Kate!

There was snow!  Ella finally got to use her new snow gear!

Uncle Dan got to use his snow gear too!

Ella's first snow angel.  
Colton and Lydia did great as we went from place to place.

We rode rides at the Mall of America for most of the day.
