A Visit from Angel

Last Saturday we got a visit from my sweet Aunt Angel. She was working in Kansas City for two weeks and so she took her weekend to drive up to see us. It meant SO much to us that she went out of her way to come visit. We all loved having her here, and we packed a lot of fun in to her short visit.

Saturday when she arrived we headed off for lunch and a quick tour of Ames. We were then able to stop at Ledges State Park to check it out. Even though spring buds and new grass haven't started growing here yet it was still fun and very pretty. I'm sure it will be gorgeous this summer!

Once we got back to the house the girls convinced Angel to read to them. They love the Junie B. Jones books and Angel really enjoyed them too!

That night we made Easter sugar cookies. All the sisters in my mom's family have made them at every holiday since their sister Pat passed away. It's a tradition we love and it was fun to make them while Angel was here. 

On Sunday the girls got to wear the new dresses Angel was so sweet to get for them. They all looked adorable!

It was a lovely visit! It's so nice when we can have family in town. Thank you Angel for coming!
