The Final Days

Dear Kacie,

Our time in AZ is coming to an end at this point.

You really had a great time with your Grandparents, aunts and uncles!

One night we put you in a hamper and you LOVED it! You were shaking the edges and smiling and we pulled you around and you were laughing!

One afternoon I laid on my bed and let you explore our room.

You had a great time!

This is you smiling with your mess all over the floor!

I got Uncle Jerm a sugar cookie for watching you one night. You kept trying to steal it from him.

Luckily he gave you your own bite of it and you guys bonded over that!

You really enjoyed sitting on the recliner by yourself.

This is you Skyping with dad and giving him kisses.

Aunt Ang and I got to go to the temple. It was wonderful to spend some time with her. It was also awesome because we got to go in the Gilbert temple that just opened earlier this year.

The night before we went home we got some Gecko Grill.

It. Was. Amazing.

Then we had a mustache party!

And after our party, we attacked grandpa with our mustaches.

You were asleep during all of that, but we had a great time!

I love seeing these flowers in my parents bathroom. These are from your Aunt Angela's wedding and me and dads weddings. They have been hanging in there for so long!

It was so hard to leave (but also we were ready). This was the morning we were leaving. You cuddled right up next to grandma. It was heart breaking to have to pull you away!

Uncle Jerm and Aunt Aub took us to the airport and made sure we got to the gate ok.

Then we sat by the window and waited for our plane to arrive.

I was so ready to see your dad again!

You, of course, did great on the plane again.

You're just perfect.

Love,

Mom & Dad
