Laguna Beach

In early December we flew to Laguna Beach for Joseph's work Christmas Party. We flew Mom into Sacramento to watch the older kids, but Isaac came with us. It was a nice vacation and we are very grateful to my mom for being willing to babysit when she had so much to do to prepare for the wedding at home. I didn't realize just how much she had going on until I flew to Utah for Christmas and took part in the busy-ness of that event. Let's just say things were pretty tense our first few days in Utah (and that's putting it nicely). Neither of us are fun to be around when we are stressed....but the wedding was beautiful and all of her hard work and insanity paid off!

The Montage always looks beautiful, but during the holidays it's especially magical.

A man from the concierge desk took these pictures, I just love when they tell you it looks perfect after the shot without even looking at the screen...? Excuse me, but I consider a perfect picture to atleast have our eyes open! Hopefully the pictures from the professional photographer turned out better (but then somehow we missed the memo on where to get those pictures... we still haven't seen the photo from last year???)

We enjoyed a nice date together, and Isaac enjoyed the big, soft, fluffy bed...
...the warm bath, with thick, soft towels....





Joseph enjoyed swimming in the ocean, while Isaac and I slept. When I was about to be discharged after giving birth to Isaac, my midwife told me she wished part of the insurance plan was to send the couple and the newborn to a five-star resort for a few days to recover and get acquatined with one another. Well, I didn't get it then, but it was fun to have it a few weeks later. It was a nice break before our busy Christmas holiday.
