Welcome to Beautiful Pella Iowa! 
Averie and Aunt Julia enjoying a cookie from the Bakery. Aunt Julia's treat. 
Everyday the Glockenspiel plays music while characters appear in little windows. Averie is dancing with them. She loves to dance.
Lincoln getting his picture taken by the tulips that are getting ready for their Tulip Time apperance.
Everyone was so good at keeping little Averie entertained. Here she got Bungammin (Ben)!!!and Jocelyn to dress up. What good sports they were.
We love Allie in our house. Averie absolutely adores her and I think Lincoln is enjoying her as well. We are so glad you are going to be a part of the family. 
Great Grandpa and Grandma Lanser with the kiddos. We enjoyed a night with them and all the other Pella Lansers. 
Brandon and Allie don't they look so cute with kids!

My mom and I packed up the kiddos and headed to Iowa to go to Allie's Bridal Shower. Averie was so excited to see her buddy Allie again.
The trip started out with adventure at the very beginning. Within the first hour Lincoln was already hungry and crying, we were listening to Mickey Mouse Beach fun (loudly) and Averie was yelling in the back that she needed to go poop. After we took care everything everyone was doing pretty well even with Averie asking every few minutes if we were there yet. I think it was about half way when Averie told us that this was "The worst trip ever" Soon after that she and Lincoln both fell asleep and we were able to pound out the last 5 hours.

The next day was another adventure filled day. After a great day of playing around town we ended up with a flat tire in the van that evening. Thanks to Don, Ben, Julia there friend, the Pella police, Grandpa, and my mom were were able to get 2 new tires the next day. What an adventure.
Saturday was the shower and gracious Allie let Averie help open the gifts. After the shower we enjoyed some time with my dad's family.
Sunday we went to church and then went to Don and Julia's for lunch with everyone on mom's side of the family. The day ended with some girlie time. Julia, mom and I watched The Proposal.
Monday we packed up and headed for home. We were able to stop in Lincoln and meet up with Danton's sister. She just had a new little baby girl in December. It was great meeting her. Danton's aunt Rhonda was also able to join us. After 14 hours later we were home. It was great being home but it was so much fun to see family.
