February was a rather dreary month this year. The snow we got the last day of January didn't melt all month. It was just cold, cold and more cold. And mostly cloudy too. In fact, I had to laugh when one morning it was 13 degrees and sunny and Eliza exclaimed, "It's not as cold today!" Haha it's pretty sad when 13 and sunny counts as not as cold.
Luckily we had something fun to look forward to this month. We got a visit from Aunt Jamie! She flew out over President's day weekend. It was a surprise for the girls though we almost let it slip more than a few times. When Jame came downstairs Saturday morning Hazel was so surprised she was literally speechless!
We started our adventures with a trip to John Wayne's birthplace in Winterset, Iowa. Michael and Jamie grew up on John Wayne so we had to make the trip.

Saturday afternoon and evening we just enjoyed playing games. Sunday was spent at church, Skyping with Grandma and Grandpa and just hanging out.
Monday Hazel was out of school but Michael still had to teach so it was girls day! We spent the morning window shopping in Downtown Ames then headed over to ISU to meet Michael for lunch and so Jamie could check out the book store.

Monday afternoon Jamie wanted to take the girls to see the Paddington movie. They really enjoyed it! When we got home Jamie surprised them each with their very own stuffed Paddington complete with their initial sewn on his pocket. They love them!
Tuesday morning the girl and Jamie make cards and wrote some postcards then we had to take her back to the airport. It was SO much fun to have her and it made our February!
