Sunny California!

In January I was able to spend an entire week in sunny Newport Beach California with my mom, sister, aunt Marla, aunt Debbie, and cousin Tara. It was fun to have a "girls only" trip filled with lots of laughter! We were able to do so many things from shopping, sunsets at Victoria Beach, playing Phase 10 at Newport Beach, cooking at the condo, going out for world-famous king crab legs, and a whole day (open to close) at Disneyland! Most of the pictures of all of us are on my mom's computer, but here are a few that I snapped while enjoying the vacation:

Kenzie & Brooke...so happy to be in SUNSHINE!



The night we checked in to the condo...look at that GORGEOUS view.



Brooke & Me at "Toy Story Mania" just ONE of the MANY fun rides at Disneyland. Our family LOVES Disneyland!

It was so nice to escape from our cold, sunless weather and head west to find some warmth... but it was also so nice to come home to the warmth of my husbands arms.
Thank you SO much Dad for the much needed vacation!

Holy cow! Did you and Brooke miss your callings in life as professional basketball players? You got some serious vertical height in that jump! Amazing as always! :)

Loved, loved, lovvvvved that vacation!!!

P.S. I'm totally up for a rematch on the jumping-in-a-picture thing. I look like a lazy, inflexible old lady next to you!!

of course, maybe it's because it's true...???

Love you, sis. :)
