First Few Days in Cali

The boys and I flew to California on Thursday, it was a crazy 6 hours to say the least but in the Christmas spirit of not complaining, I won't say anything else about the flight. Thankfully we all made it in one piece and it feels worth it now that we're here with my family.

We've been adjusting to the time difference and mostly just hanging out at my Mom's house. But on Saturday my sisters and I got to go to my cousin Adam's wedding. And what a beautiful wedding it was! How special to witness two people so in love honoring God with a Christ-centered marriage ceremony! I was especially excited because I never get to go to family weddings anymore and I hadn't seen a lot of my aunts, uncles and cousins since my own wedding.

(no joke, she actually works at Disneyland as one of those princesses that your kids stand in line to meet).

My sisters and I with our new cousin Lindsey, she's such a sweetheart, I love seeing her when I'm in town!

My mom got the boys a wagon for Christmas (and obviously gave it to them a little early) so we've been going on lots of walks to the park and around the neighborhood. They just love it!

On Friday night we went to get the Christmas tree with the whole family

She's so adorable, I just can't stand it!
