Grammy and I decided to take the girls and head up
to Minneapolis during Christmas break.
We needed our "baby Sophie" fix, so we packed up
car for a short trip.
On the agenda, quick afternoon at Mall of America
and then quality time with the family.
Lucky for us, the weather had other plans for us!
Our quick trip turned into 4 wonderful days!
First stop: dinner out in St. Paul
Great times~
Avery at the American Girl Store, "oh mom!"
Claire treated Chrissa to this trip
Ella, always hamming it up for the camera!
Time allowed for a whole day of fun at MOA, lucky us!
Claire and Grammy had so much fun!
We all enjoyed a trip to the Aquarium ~
New Year's Day - a little bowling!

And of course, no Wangerin gathering w/out games!
Thanks to my brother Dean, sis-in-law Rachel,
and cousin Sophie for so graciously, and comfortably
hosting us! You have a wonderful, warm and
loving home! We can't wait to visit again, and we'll
bring extra clothes next time!
