NEW YEAR'S IN CALIFORNIA
We stayed in Newport Beach and had a blast.
Lot's of the highlights of the trip were all the places we ate!Here we are at an unusually good breakfast place that Ben and Stephanie introduced us to.
MMMmmm...
This is at Balboa Island. It was fun little place with the best hole in the wall Mexican joint and lots of fun shops.
This is the beach at Corona Del Mar. This place had to be my favorite area in California.
Here we are at Sprinkles - getting some much talked about cupcakes. We also went to PinkBerry. I'm not sure what all the talk is about with these places to tell you the truth.
At out Hotel room later, singing to Brynn for her Birthday that was the next day.
The next morning, the Birthday Girl opening a present!LAS VEGAS
On our drive home we stopped in Las Vegas for a while and took the kids to the arcade at New York New York for Brynn to celebrate her Birthday a bit!
TALIE AND RYAN WEDDING
We went to my cousins wedding when we were in California. She got married in the Newport Beach Temple.
My cousin Corbin and his wife Chelsea sang that new song by Jason Maraz and Colbie Calait. It was so amazing. I could listen to them all day.
Aunt Jane and Uncle Mark came from Texas.
Cousin Spencer was the awesome accompaniment.
Really cool cake!
Really cool cake!It was a beautiful wedding and reception.
CRAIG AND ROSIE WEDDING
Our friends, Craig and Rosie got married in the Salt Lake Temple the day before we left to California.
They looked so happy and you could feel the love they have for each other!
Rosie was a friend from High School, so it was like a mini reunion at her wedding with lots of old friends!
I don't know why I didn't take any pictures later, but there reception was at the Grand America and it was so amazing and gorgeous. We were happy to be there.
