For the past two years we have stayed in Iowa for Mother's Day. Last year my parents came down to Iowa the weekend before and we went to Pella Tulip Time. This year I really wanted to be up there to celebrate with my mom and grandmas this year. We had a really great weekend up there despite the fact that Elsie was not sleeping well. We got to see quite a few friends and family while visitng.
We debated back and forth whether we wanted to stay home or go out for brunch and in the end brunch at home won. My dad made delicious homemade caramel rolls, egg casserole, biscuits and gravy, and yummy fruit complete with Mimosas. It was so nice! Both my grandmas made it to brunch as well as my sister and her sweet family. It was so much fun to get all the little girls together! Of course it just wasn't enough time to spend together. One of these days we will have to do a whole weekend together.
My sister bought the girls these adorable little cowboy hats.
Allie wasn't too thrilled with the pictures at first but eventually we got a smile out of her.

Elsie was so ready for nap and she kept running into
the back bedroom and would climb up on the bed.
Elsie kept "Blowing Raspberries" while we were trying
to take pictures, making everyone laugh.
I am so glad we made it up to celebrate this special day with these special mamas :)

We got home a little after 7:00 PM so we decided to stop by John's parents and say hello to his mom. She was outside doing yard work so Elsie had fun looking at all the flowers.

Beautiful!
