Trip to Palm Springs

 The day after Christmas, at the early morning hour of 4:00, we piled into the car and drove to Palm Springs to visit Grandma Lala, Papa Rod, Aunt Ashley, Uncle Paul, and cousin Liam.  While leaving hours before dawn wasn't too fun, getting into Palm Springs in time for lunch sure was.

We had a great long weekend with everyone, opened more presents, ate until we were stuffed and enjoyed a little time in the heated pool of our hotel (and by "we" I mean the kids...Corey was only interested in the hot tub and I was too chilly for any of it).  We were not so good at getting pictures, however.  After three days together, I didn't  have a single photo of my parents together, my sister and me together or any of us all together, for that matter.  Corey was really good about candid shots, but next time we have to be better about getting some posed family shots.
 More presents (see above) and this little cutie (see below)...
the girls were in second Christmas HEAVEN!!

 And our little fish...

 Natalie tried out the mermaid fin
Santa brought her last year.  It was a 
little too big last year but she uses it 
like a true mermaid this year!

Super fun weekend!  Thanks, Mom and Dad!
