Oceanside

The weekend before Christmas, we headed to California for my cousin's wedding. We stayed with my brother and his family in Oceanside and my parents and Isaac and Elizabeth met there too! It was a full two bedroom apartment and we had so much fun! (The weeks leading up to this weekend were a little insane - we were prepping to leave town, to get Christmas completely ready, to get our house cleaned and ready to host, and to get Jack's baptism ready. Four big events happening in 12 days!) We were so happy the prepping was done and to finally be doing the "fun stuff." :)
All three kids passed out for two hours on the drive to Oceanside!

Taco Bell pit stop

Our kids woke up bright and early and before everyone else on Saturday morning. We went to Oceanside Harbor for a bit to see the sea lions and share a yummy coffee cake at one of the shops!


I sure love this early morning crew!

While my parents went to the sealing, we headed to La Jolla to see the seals and tide pools!







The reception that evening was beautiful. Our kids had so much fun!




I'm not sure what happened in this progression of photos! haha

On Sunday, we went to church, walked on the pier, and celebrated Calvin's birthday!

Gorgeous views!!!

Happy birthday, Calvin!!
