Family Time

Last week I visited my family in Huntington Beach to celebrate my Grandma's birthday. The whole week was so much fun! The weather was wonderful, around 70-80 degrees the entire time and we drove around in a mustang convertible. Almost every morning I ran on the beach with my cousin Kate and basked in the sun. It was pure bliss and it felt like a real vacation. It was so fun to spend time with my dad and sister too. And Auntie, you are just the best! And I must give a shout out to Merrilee and Wayne for trying to hide a snake in my bed! Always a fun surprise, especially when you're jet-lagged ; )  

Here are some pictures!

A view of the room with the decorations we put together for grandma's party. Molly had the great idea to make edible centerpieces and we went with a pastel color theme. Good think easter is right around the corner cause we found a lot of pastel colored candies ; )

I miss everyone so much but am glad to be back to the daily grind. I'm already counting the days until spring break!
