California mini trip

Last Thursday night Jesse and I found out he didn't have to work the weekend
and decided to surprise everyone & head south.
20 hours later we saw some of the best humans in the universe
THE PIERCES!!!
The girls hung out while the boys surfed.
Just like old times.
We even have matching cars!!!
(yes we are copy cats but hey it's a great car)
After that we went to Erik Norton's birthday party
but forgot the camera. It was great though.
Then showed up on my oldest sisters doorstep.
Grandma was surprised.
Deborah knew I was coming
But Celia, the birthday girl who doesn't look 40, had no clue.
She and her daughter look like they could be sisters.
The pre party clan
Elizabeth helped her blow out the yummy cake
All the cousins...
maybe one day there will be a boy HA
(or maybe not)
The oldest cousin and the youngest
After a night of rest we headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Price
Grandma read Elizabeth lots & lots of books.
Our friends came over once again because we
are cool like that.
Jamie had no idea we were going to be there
it was great seeing her shocked face!
My nephew is so handsome.
J hung out in a tree
The boys and Rachel played bocce ball
while Grandpa made the most amazing food.
There was healthy and delicious
And so much mexican food that was perfect.
There hasn't been a dish my father in law
isn't excellent at preparing.
the cousins stretched
J & Elizabeth remembered their friendship
And Millie rejoiced because she was finally blessed!
This weekend was truly the best weekend we have had in a WHILE.
I am so grateful we decided to take it. I love everyone we saw
and hope we can do it again sometime...
for a little longer that is.

love the photos, we have the exact same car as you, I think you convinced Moema to buy the mazda five, we love it! Your girls keep getting cuter and I didn't think that was possible!
