Shortly after Christmas, Dustin headed home to Iowa to visit his parents. We didn't want to overwhelm them with all of our crazy crew, so he just took Ellie and Luke while I stayed home with the middles.
Everyone always asked how we determined who got to go and who stayed. It was mainly the fact that Dustin wanted to take Ellie and I told him if he was taking the easiest kid, he was taking the hardest one too.
Probably Luke's favorite part of the trip to Iowa, however, was learning how to play UNO!
He is obsessed with it now. In fact, I just sent him to bed early because he was so mad that we couldn't play one more hand of UNO.
Ellie's favorite part was going with Grandma to do baptisms at the Nauvoo temple.
It was so cold that the end of her braid froze afterwards.
Or maybe that happens to people all the time and it's not that cold. We are Arizonans now, we have no idea. It was definitely a novelty to Ellie!
On one of their field trips, they even visited the American Gothic house.
Just in case you have no idea what I'm talking about:
Everyone had a great time but I couldn't wait for them to come home! And now the middle kids can't wait for their turn.
