Boise Trip

 Mark and I decided that our Valentine's gift to each other should be a trip to Boise to see Nora Rae! It was so great! We got there on Friday and spent a little time with everyone, so Nora could get used to us. We were worried that she wouldn't know us and be scared. 😅 All of our FaceTimes have paid off, because she loved us right from the start. 😊 We sent Bailey and Mason on a temple date, and we babysat. It was so fun! We only got to babysit for a little while until Bailey ruined all of our fun. She forgot her temple dress, so they had to come home, and reschedule for Saturday. We ended up all going to dinner together instead, and then Bailey and Mason went and got ice cream while we hung out with Nora. Mason had to work on Saturday, so Bailey and Nora came to our hotel and had breakfast with us. Then we hung out at their place and played with Nora until lunch time. We went and had lunch on campus with Mason durning his break. When Mason got off work, they went to the temple, and we babysat. It was just as fun this time! That night, Mark and I went out for a Valentine's dinner, and Mason, Bailey, and Nora went to the hockey game. Sunday we hung out watching Nora while Bailey got all her Sugar Alley orders done so we could bring all the cookies back to Idaho Falls with us.

On the drive, Mark and I listened to the audio book, 'A Man Called Ove.' It's one of my favorites, and since the movie came out (A Man Called Otto), I wanted Mark to listen to the book so we could go see the movie together. We loved the movie, but both of us still thought the book was better.

It was such a fun trip! Nora is dreamy, and we are completely obsessed with her. She is the happiest, most chill little girl!

Eggs for lunch on Friday! She is so dang cute!

Our first round of babysitting was so fun! We played with all her toys, and she was so good! Bailey was so nervous that she was going to freak, but she did not get sad for one single second!

We brought Nora's Valentine's Day gift with us, so we could see her open it.

We got her a little stuffed donkey (Flompy Rae), and some chocolate bubbles.

Me and Bailey were the only ones home with Nora, and she said HI as clear as day, TWICE! We spent the next 10 minutes trying to get her to say it again so we could get it on film for Mark and Mason. She didn't say it again, but she is so dang cute in the video, I still had to post it!

Oh my gosh, she is darling! 😍

Playing with Flompy Rae! 😁

I'm pretty sure I read her just about every book on her bookshelf!

The day after we got home, Mark and I kept saying that we need to go back and see her again. We are going over in March for a race, but we need another weekend just dedicated to playing with Nora. It was the best!
