A Crystal Cove New Years!

We were able to score one of the Crystal Cove cottages from January 1-3! It’s been a bucket list item for our family to stay there and it was magical. It’s one of our favorite local beaches and we were thrilled to be able to start the new year with this family adventure!

We stayed in cottage #36, which we quickly learned was one of the best ones!

We enjoyed meals at the Beachcomber:

We walked to the beach and tide pools:

We grabbed food at the Shake Shack and enjoyed the lights:

We spent time at the cottage:

Our time was precious. It was an INCREDIBLE way to kick off the year!

I can’t wait to tell you all about it!!!

a quick hangout…

 This last weekend, our Mia and Papa came to go to church with us as well as take the kids to lunch and hang out together before the break was over…

It’s so sweet to watch the kids have that time carved out for them… We love you Mia and Papa!

23 years

 Yesterday on January 4, we celebrated 23 years of marriage… We are more in love with each other today than we ever thought possible the day we got married… I’m so grateful for this man and the life we are allowed to live together!
